Recipe: Chipotle Leg of Lamb!
Spice Up Your Dinner with Chavez Club Lambs’ Chipotle Leg of Lamb!
Hello, food lovers! We’re excited to share a time-tested recipe that our customers at Chavez Club Lambs absolutely adore. It’s our Chipotle Leg of Lamb, a dish that’s as fun and vibrant as a fiesta!
At Chavez Club Lambs, we take pride in providing top-quality, USDA certified Lamb meat. Our lamb is the star of this recipe, slow-cooked to perfection, ensuring every bite is tender and bursting with flavor.
This recipe is a celebration of bold, robust flavors. We marinate the lamb in a 12 oz. bottle of Mexican beer or a carbonated citrus soda, which adds a unique depth of flavor. The smoky heat of a 7 oz. can of whole chipotles in adobo sauce and the sweet tang of ½ cup of orange juice create a balance that’s just right.
We place the lamb in a crockpot with a chopped yellow onion and 3 tablespoons of minced garlic, infusing it with their flavors as it cooks. Halfway through, we add slices of lime and orange, giving the dish a bright citrusy twist.
The Chipotle Leg of Lamb is slow-cooked on medium-low for 4-6 hours. This process allows the flavors to meld together, creating a dish that’s as delightful to eat as it is to smell!
Our customers love this recipe, and it gives us great joy to share it with you. So why wait? Bring the fiesta to your kitchen with our Chipotle Leg of Lamb. It’s a party of flavors in every bite!
