Sweet Heat Eggplant, Orange Lamb & Sweet Potatoes
I’m a little obsessed with lamb and eggplant these days – Greek and Middle Eastern cuisine seems to be calling my name.
And with the sweet goodness of sweet potatoes and tangy orange juice, accented with a little heat, we’ve got a swooning princess at the table, perhaps with a little drool dripping down her chin. YUM! πΈπ€€πππΆ π
Oh, and with the InstaPot, this recipe melts in your mouth with no effort at all.
Sweet Heat Eggplant, Orange Lamb & Sweet Potatoes
Using a slow cooker – InstaPot – (or Dutch oven) this recipe creates soft and tender meat and veggies that will melt in your mouth.
2 large lamb shoulder chops
1 Tbs. olive oil
2 Tbs. Sweet Heat Dry Rub*

Rub the lamb with the dry rub and olive oil, covering all surfaces.
Transfer to the bowl of a large slow cooker.
Add the sweet potatoes and eggplant.
Chop the orange into 6 pieces, juice, and then add the juiced rinds.

Open the lid, remove the shoulder bone (or not), and serve.
