TURKISH WALNUT LAMB
If you like nuts, you will probably enjoy this dish. The taste is hard to describe, it's like nothing I've ever had before -- a little bit nutty, a little bit sweet, a little bit savoury. Goes great with Mean Chef's Perfect Rice (#53520). Serves two very hungry people, or more with a salad.
