Ingredients

• 8 pieces lamb chops
• 3 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup chicken or beef stock
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces fresh mint sprigs (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the lamb chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine chopped mint leaves, minced garlic, honey, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Rub the marinade generously over each lamb chop, ensuring they are coated evenly. Save any leftover marinade for later.

Step 4

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the lamb chops for 2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. This step locks in the flavor and gives a nice crust.

Step 5

Transfer the seared lamb chops to the slow cooker.

Step 6

Add the chicken or beef stock to the slow cooker, along with any leftover marinade.

Step 7

Cover and cook on low heat for 6 hours or until the lamb chops are tender and cooked through.

Step 8

Once cooked, carefully remove the lamb chops from the slow cooker. If desired, skim off any excess fat from the cooking liquid and serve the liquid as a sauce.

Step 9

Garnish the lamb chops with fresh mint sprigs before serving.

Step 10

Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
