As you guys have probably already noticed, me and my Dutch Oven are best friends! It seriously makes cooking easy and just so much tastier! I love whipping up dinner while my girls are napping and popping it in the oven, that way when it is dinner time I can just pop it right out and no sweat during the busy night time! And this One-Pot Greek Braised Lamb takes all the pressure out of dinner without compromising on taste.
Lamb is one of my favorite proteins. I just love the flavor of it and my body literally craves it all of the time!!! I wanted to change things up from my typical lamb dishes (here and here) and braise some lamb in my dutch oven this time. Holy fabulous! The flavor in this One-Pot Greek Braised Lamb is great and it’s definitely one I will continue to make in my kitchen! I hope you enjoy!
- 6 bone-in lamb loin chops
- kosher salt
- black pepper
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- about 1/4 cup flour (use arrowroot starch if Whole30)

- In a small bowl, combine flour, a pinch of salt and a little dash of cayenne (optional), toss to combine. Press all sides of the lamb into the flour so that it is lightly coated in flour.
