Necks of Lamb

There has been some recent heckling as to why our blog has not yet mentioned lamb, or indeed legs. Presumably some lovely photos of our legs in the kitchen would not be unwelcome, but today lamb is of the essence.
I'm of the view that January is not the month for lamb legs to be eaten at their juicy best, but lamb neck is perfect for the type of warming wintery stew that everyone wants a piece of after battling through sleet to the cosy Charles Lamb. Last week's stew involved rosemary, capers and spelt, and was quite northern Italian in flavour (sorry Camille! FYI Camille doesn't do Italian) but I think this week I might fall under the sway of Moroccan warm spices and apricots. If the mood takes me...
