Braised Lamb Chops

Braised Lamb Chops

Serves 4
Preparation time: 30 mins
Cooking time: 1 hour

20 points per recipe - 5 per serving

2 tbsp plain flour
4 lamb leg chops trimmed of all fat, weighing approx. 450g (1 lb) in total
low fat cooking spray
1 large onion, sliced
small bunch of fresh thyme or marjoram
150ml (5 fl oz) stock
450g (1 lb) sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced thickly
100g (3½ oz) mushrooms, sliced
4 medium beef tomatoes, thickly sliced
salt and pepper

Put the flour on a plate, season, then roll the chops in it ( I didn't bother doing this - reducing recipe by 2 points!!).
Heat a large frying pan with low fat cooking spray. Brown the lamb for a few minutes on each side then set aside.
Spray the pan with more low fat cooking spray and fry the onion for 4 minutes until softened.
Add the herbs and stock, scraping up any juices stuck to the pan.
Arrange layer of sweet potato slices on the bottom of the pan and then top with the lamb. Cover and cook gently for 45 minutes.
Add the mushrooms (I used loads more than 100g!) and then a layer of sliced tomato.
Season and cook for another 15 minutes then serve.


If you use ordinary potatoes the points will be 4½.
