    DELICIOUS SURPRISE!

    Honestly, wasn’t sure what to expect with this one and really unsure how to describe it. I did think the sweet chili was going to be the dominant flavour but it just lent a subtle kick.
    Lamb was SOOOO tender – and the “sauce” = LICK THE BOWL CLEAN GOOD.
    I sliced the lamb rather than shedding and taste tested before and after letting it go back into the sauce. HANDS DOWN amazing after a “soak” 😉
    (Good before – next level AFTER).
    This might even rival my obsession with OBSESSION as a repeat fave.
