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.

This recipe was a disaster. The lamb was tough and the walnuts were burnt.

The lamb was a bit dry, but the walnuts were a nice touch.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm not a big fan of lamb, but this dish was surprisingly good. The walnuts added a nice flavor and the lamb was cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this again.

This Turkish walnut lamb recipe was a hit with my family! The lamb was tender and flavorful, and the walnuts added a nice crunch and nutty flavor. I will definitely be making this dish again.
