There’s nothing better on a cold winters day (like today – brrrr!) than a warming and delicious lamb hot pot. The great thing with all in one recipes like this is you can start it then leave it alone to do it’s thing. Then come back a few hours later to a hot pot full of magical, bold flavours – it’s making me hungry just writing about it!
As I have mentioned before lamb is one of our favourite meats, although we don’t have chops very often at all. We tend to have lamb with curries more so than just a lamb steak or a chop. I grew up on hot pots and casseroles and remember having breast of lamb as a child in the week with vegetables and gravy. Even though lamb isn’t the heathlest meat to have, it does have a lot of flavour and when is is slow cooked it is very tender. So having it in your diet every so often wont hurt and you will enjoy it even more!
I love my veg so by adding the parsnips, carrots and sprouts you are getting some real goodness in there. This dish is so easy to do and great for a family meal you should definitely give it a go – you wont be disappointed!
