The preparation time of this meal takes a quick 30 minutes and can serve 4. The lamb takes 5 hours and 10 minutes to cook.‍

Ingredients:

• 1kg Cleavers Organic Lamb Chops
• 900g potatoes
• 410g can chopped tomatoes with paste
• 1 pack of broccolini
• 1 pack of carrots
• 1 red onion, halved, thinly sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 1 cup dry red wine
• 5 sprigs of fresh thyme
• 1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
• 1/3 cup double cream
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tsp lemon zest
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 black pepper
• 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
• Salt, to season

Method:

1. Heat the oil in large deep non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
2. Season lamb with salt and pepper. Add half the lamb to pan to cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned.
3. Transfer the meat to the slow cooker. Repeat until all lamb is cooked and in the slow cooker.
4. Reduce heat of the pan to medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring for 5 minutes or until softened.
5. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add tomatoes, broccolini, carrots, red wine, thyme and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over the lamb. Cover and cook on low for a total time of 5 hours or until lamb is tender.
6. Whilst the lamb is cooking prepare the mash potato by placing the potatoes in a pan and cover it with cold water.
7. Bring the water to the boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
8. After 15 minutes stick a fork into one of the potatoes. The potato should be tender and the fork should slide through. If it doesn’t cook for a few more minutes but no longer than 20 minutes.
9. Drain the potatoes and let them rest for 1 minute or until the moisture is gone.
10. Place the potatoes in a potato masher 2 at a time and continue until all the potato is mashed.
11. Add the butter and stir it so the heat of the potato melts the butter.
12. Add the cream, half the salt and pepper and stir together using a wooden spoon. Stir until the potatoes are smooth and creamy.
13. Top the mashed potatoes with a bit of butter and some salt flakes and pinch of black pepper. You can leave in the fridge or serve warm when the lamb is ready.
14. Once the lamb is done in the slow cooker, serve with the mash potato and enjoy!
