I don’t know about you but my favourite meat is, by far, lamb. Roast lamb in any form is just fantastic. So tasty and so juicy. The only problem I find, certainly where I live in the UK, is that lamb can be expensive compared to some other meats. Having said that, life is not a dress rehearsal, right? Sometimes you’ve just got to treat yourself…

Cue these wonderfully succulent slow roasted lamb chops. The best cut from the lamb and so tender when slow cooked.

Slow-roasted lamb chops

I know, you’re all going to shout at me and tell me lamb chops must be pink inside and cooked medium rare. I agree. As I do with steak. But if you cook a short rib or a beef casserole the beef is cooked slowly and rendered oh so tender because of it. So why not do the same with lamb. At least sometimes.

Believe me, if I was to griddle or BBQ lamb chops I’d eat them medium rare but variety is the spice of life. I dare you to try this slow-roasted lamb chop recipe one day. I’m sure you will be amazed! Yum…



1. Get all of the ingredients together

There really is not a lot to this recipe. The key is to get some large meaty and lean lamb chops. The bigger the better. Then it’s just an onion, some garlic, and some rosemary. Oh, and oil and seasoning obviously…

Get the ingredients together



2. A little bit of prep…

The only ingredients to prepare are the garlic and rosemary. Peel and smash the garlic and then place it in a mortar. Add the rosemary leaves and a pinch of salt. Then just crush the garlic with the rosemary around it.

Bruise the rosemary to release the oil

Note, the rosemary won’t crush like the garlic but the key is to “bruise” the rosemary such that it rosemary oil is released. This adds massively to the flavor. Once complete add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and mix in well.



3. Prepare the lamb

To prepare the lamb for the slow-roast first slice the onion and lay the slices on an oiled roasting tray.

Lay the onions on the roasting tray

Now, season the lamb chops with sea salt and ground black pepper and place on top of the sliced onion. Then, using a spoon, evenly spread the garlic and rosemary mixture over the lamb chops.

Place the lamb chops on top of the sliced onions



4. Slow-roast the lamb

To slow-roast the lamb chops simply cover the roasting tray with kitchen foil and place in a pre-heated oven at 120C / 110C Fan for 4 hours. The foil will stop the lamb chops from burning and keep the juices in by not releasing the steam. This should stop the slow-roasted lamb chops from drying up.

After 4 hours, remove the kitchen foil and increase the oven temperature to 180C / 160C Fan. Continue to slow-roast the lamb chops for another hour or until the outside skin has become crispy.

And that’s about it. Serve with seasonal vegetables. I used roasted butternut squash but you can use whatever you like. Steer clear of potatoes if you want to keep the dish low-carb otherwise, have as many as you want! ????

Wonderfully succulent and tasty slow-roasted lamb chops. What a great midweek treat…

    I did this lamb chop recipe yesterday and it was a big hit with my guys. As we can’t eat onions or actual garlic I substituted them with more herbs (rosemary, thyme, chives + saffron/garlic oil). Put herbs top and bottom of the chops, and covered as instructed then baked until crispy browned. It was delicious served with mashed butternut squash, red cabbage and kale (all steamed). I would recommend this recipe and definitely making it again.

    i tied this after a quick google search and oh man! It was the best cooked lamb chops I’ve had (or at least the best that i can remember.

    I tried it with a spicy tomato sauce and without cooking it for the extra hour after as i wasn’t too fussed about it being crispy (as well as the fact that i couldn’t wait to eat it 😀 )

    The meat just slid away from the bone and it wasn’t too dry and nicely cooked all the way through! and whats great is that it’s so low maintenance!! just chuck it in the oven after lunch and it’s ready for a meal in the evening!! will definitely be trying out more recipes… as well as this one again when i have anyone round!
