Categories     Lamb     Dinner

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt, plus more, to taste
4 lb. lamb shoulder chops, each about 1 inch thick, trimmed of excess fat
3 Tbs. olive oil
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. paprika
2 cups beef broth
Juice of 1 lemon
1 1/2 cups green olives, well drained, pitted if desired

1/2 cup minced fresh mint

Steps:

  • Brown the lamb On a large plate, stir together the flour and the 1 tsp. salt. Coat the lamb chops evenly with the flour mixture, shaking off the excess; reserve the remaining flour mixture. In a large fry pan over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Working in batches if needed, add the lamb chops and cook, turning once, until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chops to a slow cooker. Make the sauce Pour off all but about 1 Tbs. of the fat from the fry pan and return the pan to medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the cumin, paprika and reserved flour mixture and sauté briefly, just until fragrant. Pour in the broth and lemon juice. Increase the heat to high, bring to a boil and deglaze the pan, stirring to scrape up the browned bits from the pan bottom. Pour the contents of the pan over the lamb. Braise the lamb Cover and cook until the lamb is very tender, 3 to 4 hours on high or 6 to 8 hours on low according to the manufacturer's instructions. About 1 hour before the lamb is ready, add the olives. When the lamb is ready, transfer it to a platter and cover with aluminum foil. Skim off any excess fat from the surface of the sauce. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and stir in the mint. Leave the chops on the platter or transfer to individual plates. Spoon the sauce with the olives and mint over the lamb and serve immediately. Serves 6 to 8.

Tips:

  • To ensure the lamb chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check their internal temperature. The chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 160°F (71°C) for medium, or 170°F (77°C) for well-done.
  • If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large skillet or braising pan. Just make sure the pan is large enough to hold all of the lamb chops in a single layer.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you're cooking a lot of lamb chops, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking.
  • Be patient. Braising takes time, but it's worth it. The slow, gentle cooking process helps to tenderize the lamb chops and develop their flavor.
  • Serve the braised lamb chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
