Savory Chops. With Spring Lamb from our Adelaide Hills Farm.

You'll love that feeling knowing tea is well on the way when you arrive through the door. You've got kids who are excited to be home, a little tired from a full and fun day at school. But also wanting to have the time to be with you, after being apart for the day.

So you need a meal that helps you to feel you're  doing your best to feed your growing kids.
But not be tied to the kitchen for hours at that important time of your kids day.
Delicious, spicy and sweet Savory Lamb Chops is the recipe every Mum needs to have in her back pocket.

Savory Chops is a perfect slow cooker recipe that you can put on in the morning and then come home to most of tea prepared.

Savory Chops is also a perfect, toss together before school pick-up recipe. Pop it in the oven on low. And then have the feeling that you are winning at life\ (well one part of life, anyway). When you walk through the door and tea has been started. The momentum has begun. And you just need to jump into the slip stream of continuing on with a few steamed veggies. Then your nearly there at plating up something good. Really good.

Edna's Savory Chops is a family favourite with our grass fed lamb chops from our farm.

I first tried cooking Edna's Savory Chops after a dear friend told me of her Mum's recipe from her childhood and it was something she would cook regularly.

This meal has become our own family favourite, with plates cleared and our Junior Farmers looking for more lamb chops!

I also love the name in the recipe. There is something fun about the thought of Dame Edna Everage with her funky glasses looking over my shoulder while cooking!

Ingredients

• 10 Lamb Chops
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 tablespoon Mustard (seeded or Dijon)
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1 3/4 cups water
• 4 tablespoons cornflour

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees
2. Brown chops in a frying pan.
3. Place together all other ingredients and whisk together until smooth.
4. Pour half the mixture in the bottom of a rectangular casserole dish. Place the chops in the dish in a single layer. Cover with the rest of the mixture. Cover with alfoil.
5. Place in the oven and cook for 1 hour or until tender.
6. Turn chops half way through cooking. Remove the alfoil 15 minutes before finished cooking. Turn chops just before serving, to make sure every chop is generously coated in the sauce.

Notes

To cook low and slow - Cook at 120 degrees for 2 - 3 hours.

Serve with a side salad. Or with mash, carrots and peas.

Now this is a meal that may not look fabulous. But hear me when I tell you, the smell of this meal is something else. And it just tastes so good. You could pretty it up with a garnish of chopped parsley or other herbs. But the flavour really speaks for itself.

I cooked Savory Chops again this week. Master Farmer was asking for seconds. As well as asking if he could take it for school lunch the next day in the thermos. Master Farmer said "I will eat lamb chops with that stuff on it, any day of the week!"

Edna’s Savory Chops is a recipe which is fabulous with a range of the COMFORT CUTS of Grass Fed Lamb from our Farm including
