Ahhh.....(big sigh of satisfaction)

The lamb chops turned out to perfection. I feel like Remi the Rat in Ratatouille...that warm glow inside of completing a job well done. They were first seared, then put aside, and I made a sauce with green onions, sliced mushrooms, and 3 garlic cloves cut up small...cook in a pan and add beef broth (which happened to already be simmering in the crock pot) and half a cup of Pinot Noir...

Wait...why not just copy and paste the recipe? Here it is:

These tasty lamb chops are served with a sauce made with beef broth and red wine.
Ingredients:
8 lamb chops, about 2 1/2 pounds
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
flour
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
6 green onions, sliced
4 medium cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup dry red wine, such as pinot noir
Preparation:
Sprinkle lamb chops with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Lightly coat chops with flour; place in hot skillet. Sear until well browned, turning once. Remove to a plate and set aside. Reduce heat to medium.
To the skillet add the mushrooms, green onions, garlic, and butter. Cook the vegetables, stirring, for 4 minutes. Add beef broth and red wine and simmer until reduced by about 1/3. Add lamb chops, cover skillet, and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until lamb chops are done as desired.

Okay, so I followed that recipe to the letter and it turned out wunderbar!!! I also cooked some other veggies to go with it, and a small glass of wine on the side.

I highly recommend this recipe to anyone who wants to try it. It's too bad Rennie the recently departed Dachshund wasn't still around to appreciate the results. His nose would have informed him of every delectable detail.
