Braised Shoulder Lamb Chops – a Low Energy Approach

So I had run out of energy for the day but needed to make dinner.  So I went as simple as I could.

Ingredients:

Lamb shoulder chops

Oil

Salt

Tomato Paste

Beef gravy powder

Bottle of beer – lager

Soy sauce

Worcestershire Sauce

Pepper/Cayenne pepper

Method:

I had salted the lamb in the morning and left it in the fridge but other than this, everything was chucked together.

So I put a bit of oil in the bottom of the casserole dish.  Then in went the chops and the seasonings.  Lastly I poured the beer over the lot and let it sit on a low electric element until the lamb was tender – about 4 hours.

At this stage the liquid was quite runny still so I took out the chops and covered them with foil while I boiled the liquid until it had reduced to a nice gravy – about 10 minutes – then in again with the chops.

This made a nice meal with rice and peas.
