Recipe – Slow Cooked Lamb Chops

Warm days and the odd cooler night calls for one to have a decent and healthy stew recipe up their sleeve. Our slow cooked lamb chop stew is just that – easy to put together and a crowd pleaser. It also contains some of our favourite produce that we grow or rear on the farm, from the lamb to the onions, chili, honey and garlic.

This recipe is enough for 4 people and goes fantastically with a pinot noir.
