One-Pot Greek Braised Lamb

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!
