This was a great recipe. I made a few minor changes, such as using beef broth instead of lamb broth, and it still turned out great. I will definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the stew turned out perfectly. I was worried that the okra would be slimy, but it wasn't at all. It was actually quite delicious.
