Astarra's Slow Cooked Lamb Chops in Gravy

[*suzanne*]

I did read somewhere that if you have a bit of fat in your bowl  you drop one or two  ice cubes in and the fat will be drawn to it and you can just scoop it out, haven't tried it only read about it yesterday but I will next time I need to

That does work Suzanne, I have done it plenty of times!!

great to hear astarra I love it when I learn something new

[Amy :-)]

Yum

I picked all the bones out and just served the meat and gravy over mashed sweet potato, with leeks in white sauce and steamed peas. Delicious and very easy. The fat had set nicely on top so it was very easy to remove, then I just heated the meat and thickened the gravy.

Thanks astarra

Looks great Amy and a great idea to take the bones out as that was the one complaint from the kids.

Suzanne I always use the ice cube trick when taking fat out of pan juices for gravy it ensures you don't loose any of the good juices, depending on the quantity of fat you may need to do it a couple of times.

I must be living under a rock not to know that trick then )
so glad it works though ;D

I hadn't heard of the ice cube trick either but I'm sure going to try it soon!
