Lambwithlentilscrockpot Recipes

Steps:

• In a skillet over medium high heat heat 1 tablespoon oil for about 30 seconds or so.
• Add lamb to skillet, cook until browned (3-5 minutes) in batches if necessary. Transfer lamb to slow cooker as it is cooked.
• Reduce heat to medium and drain all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the skillet.
• Add onions, carrots and celery to skillet and cook stirring until vegetables are soft (5-10 minutes).
• Stir in garlic, herbes de Provence, salt and peppercorns and cook another minute or so.
• Stir in bay leaves, broth and tomatoes (with the juice) and bring mixture to a boil and then transfer mixture to slow cooker. (see my note in description - I also added a lamb bone chopped into two pieces so it would fit in my crock pot).
• Stir in lentils.
• Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on High for 4 hours or until mixture is bubbly and lamb and lentils are tender.
• (Remove bone from crock pot - see note in description) Stir in chard in batches, stirring into the stew. Cover and cook on High for 20-30 minutes or until chard is tender. Discard bay leaves.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the lamb cubes and bones and brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add onion and garlic and continue cooking about 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Stir in the lentils, 2 cups of the chicken broth, tomatoes, carrots and the thyme, sage and basil. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, until the lentils are tender but not quite done, stirring occasionally. Depending on the type and freshness of the lentils, this will take from 15 to 30 minutes. If the stew seems dry, add more broth (up to one cup additional). Discard the lamb bones.
• Add the spinach and cook 5 minutes more. Stir in the lemon zest and juice. Garnish individual servings with some of the crumbled cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220 deg Celsius.
• Trim chops of excess fat, leaving a small amount for browning. Heat a non-stick pan to high and brown chops well on both sides. Remove to a lidded casserole big enough so the chops are crowded but in 1 layer.
• Sprinkle chops with rosemary and then top with the garlic.
• Drain fat from pan and wipe clean. Return pan to heat and dry fry onions, adding a small amount of water if needed. Once soft and translucent transfer from pan to casserole, layering over garlic. Place casserole in oven.
• Return pan to heat and add water, wine, oregano, thyme and chilli and bring to the boil. Add lentils and return to the boil. Cover and lower heat to simmer. Cook for five minutes.
• Add canned tomatoes to lentils and return to boil. Taste and season with salt and fresh ground black pepper, as preferred. Remove casserole from oven. Transfer lentils and tomatos to casserole being careful of spatter. Push chops around so liquid goes to bottom but do not mix. Cover and return to oven for approximately 1 hour (depending on thickness of chops). Meat should almost fall off the bone.
• Remove from oven, stir and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes before adjusting the seasoning and serving.

Steps:

• In a slow cooker, combine all ingredients but the parsley, salt and black pepper.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
• Just before serving, remove bay leaves, stir in parsley and season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb and cook until outside is browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and add onion to the oil in the skillet. Saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
• Place onion in the bottom of a slow cooker pot and place the lamb roast on top. Mix water, soy sauce, garlic, and onion soup mix together and pour over the roast. Cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours.
• Remove roast, cover lightly with foil, and let rest for 20 minutes before carving. Mix butter and flour into a paste. Add small pieces of this paste to the hot cooking liquid, mixing well to incorporate. Cook until sauce reaches desired thickness, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Slice roast thinly and serve with gravy.

Steps:

• Spray crock pot with non-stick spray (I use Mazola No-stick).
• Brown lamb chops on both sides if desired.
• Place in bottom of crock pot.
• In fry pan used to brown lamb chops, cook onions and garlic, with curry powder, just until beginning to turn transparent.
• Transfer onions and garlic to crock pot, spreading evenly over lamb chops.
• Lay bay leaves on top.
• Arrange potato quarters evenly on top of previously arranged ingredients being sure they do not touch the sides of the crock pot.
• Arrange carrots over top; try to avoid leaving any potatoes exposed as they will tend to turn dark (You may need to add more carrots, depending on the size, to achieve this).
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Cover.
• Cook on high for at least 3 hours, or Cook on low for at least 6 hours, or Cook on high, then reduce to low allowing 2 hours on low for each hour on high.
• When there is only an hour left of cooking time, place asparagus spears on top of all and sprinkle a little more curry powder on top.
• If you wish, you can add a tablespoon of butter on top of the asparagus.

Steps:

• Combine red wine and onion in a slow cooker.
• Whisk honey, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, rosemary, basil, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl until well blended. Add tapioca starch and whisk until well combined. Let sit until mixture is thickened, at least 5 minutes.
• Dip lamb chops in the mustard mixture and massage until fully coated.
• Place chops in a single layer over the red wine and onion mixture in the slow cooker. Pour remaining mustard mixture on top.
• Cover slow cooker and cook on Low until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chop reads at least 130 degrees F (54 degrees C), about 4 1/2 hours.
