Mel's Slow-cooked Lamb Shoulder Chops - Bio-Alai Friendly

Mel's Slow-cooked Lamb Shoulder Chops - Bio-Alai Friendly

Lamb shoulder chops are big and meaty and fatty, with plenty of connective tissue that requires slow-cooking to create deliciously juicy and tender chops. Mid-week you can simply take 5 minutes to put these on in the morning and come home to a succulent dinner, with a side of either a nice salad with homemade dressing, or sauteed veggies with lemon and garlic. Make an extra chop for lunch tomorrow, paired with some leftover salad or vegetables. Easy, nutritious and delicious. Remember, we want to cook once and eat twice to make life more simple on the protocol and in life. If you don't have a slow cooker, (like Meaghan) be patient we are refining the timing and will include as soon as it's perfected. We use one chop per person in our family, which is plenty with vegetables or salad. Add an extra for lunch tomorrow. This recipe is Bio-Alai protocol friendly and ideal when you're in need of some nourishing comfort food. We don't eat fermented foods in the therapeutic stage, as they can cause further dysbiosis, so the capers are delicious to include when you are on the maintenance stage, and have successfully added them back into your regular eating.

Ingredients

  • 4 lamb shoulder chops

  • 1 head of garlic
  • 1 sprig of rosemary
  • 1 handful of thyme
  • Proper salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 tblspn quality capers (in maintenance stage only)

  4. Place the rest of the rosemary and thyme on top of the chops.
  5. Turn the slow cooker on to low for 6 hours. Cover and enjoy the aroma.
  6. Optional: when ready to eat, grill the chops for 1-2 minutes to make the fat crispy and brown.
