Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 3 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chicken or beef stock
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces fresh mint sprigs (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the lamb chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, combine chopped mint leaves, minced garlic, honey, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. Mix well to create the marinade.
Rub the marinade generously over each lamb chop, ensuring they are coated evenly. Save any leftover marinade for later.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the lamb chops for 2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. This step locks in the flavor and gives a nice crust.
Transfer the seared lamb chops to the slow cooker.
Add the chicken or beef stock to the slow cooker, along with any leftover marinade.
Cover and cook on low heat for 6 hours or until the lamb chops are tender and cooked through.
Once cooked, carefully remove the lamb chops from the slow cooker. If desired, skim off any excess fat from the cooking liquid and serve the liquid as a sauce.
Garnish the lamb chops with fresh mint sprigs before serving.
Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
