Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of lamb: For slow cooking, look for tougher cuts of lamb that will benefit from the long, slow cooking process. Good options include lamb shoulder, leg, and neck.
  • Brown the lamb before slow cooking: Browning the lamb in a pan before adding it to the slow cooker helps to develop flavor and create a more appealing dish.
  • Use a flavorful liquid: The liquid you use in your slow cooker lamb recipe is important for adding flavor. Good options include broth, wine, beer, or even tomato sauce.
  • Add vegetables and herbs: Vegetables and herbs help to add flavor and complexity to your slow cooker lamb dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
  • Cook on low for 8-10 hours: Lamb is a tough meat, so it needs to be cooked for a long time to become tender. Cook your lamb on low for 8-10 hours, or until it is fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Slow cooker lamb is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
