Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 medium carrots
- 4 medium red potatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 cup beef or chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the lamb chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned; set aside.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Peel and slice the onion. Cut the carrots into 2-inch chunks. Quarter the red potatoes.
In a 6-quart slow cooker, layer the onion, carrots, and potatoes as a base.
Sprinkle the minced garlic, dried rosemary, and dried thyme over the vegetables.
Place the seared lamb chops on top of the vegetables.
Pour the broth and balsamic vinegar over the lamb and vegetables.
Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or until the lamb is tender and falling off the bone.
Optional: Once cooking is complete, mix cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Add it to the liquid in the slow cooker to thicken the sauce. Stir until combined and let sit for 5 minutes.
Serve the lamb chops and vegetables hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
