Slow-Cooked Lamb Chops With White Wine - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 garlic cloves, sliced
10 sprigs fresh rosemary or 10 sprigs fresh thyme
8 large lamb chops
salt and pepper
2 heads garlic, cut horizontally
3 cups dry white wine
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 300\u00b0F
Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and the oil together in an ovenproof frying pan. Add the garlic cloves and rosemary.
Season the lamb with salt and freshly ground black pepper and fry on both sides until brown, before transferring to a baking dish. Add the halved garlic heads.
Heat the wine in a small saucepan and pour over the lamb. Cover with foil and cook in the oven to for 11/2 hours.
Remove the lamb and garlic halves from the pan and keep warm.
Strain the wine into a saucepan, squeezing the juices from the rosemary and garlic skins.
Combine the flour with the remaining butter. Heat the wine and juices and stir in the flour and butter mixture, a little at a time.
Cook until the sauce is smooth and thick. Adjust the seasoning as necessary and serve the lamb chops straight away with the sauce poured over.
