Steps:
- In a slow cooker, combine all ingredients but the parsley, salt and black pepper.

SLOW-COOKED GREEK LAMB
Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F.
- Set the lamb leg in a large roasting pan, and season it well with sea salt and black pepper. Sprinkle the meat with the oregano and pour the lemon juice and wine over top. Drizzle the lamb with the olive oil and roast until the exterior is browned, about 20 minutes.
- Add the water to the bottom of the pan and cover the lamb loosely with foil. Reduce the oven temperature to 315 degrees F, and roast the lamb for another 1 1/2 hours.
- At this point, arrange the potato chunks and lemon quarters around the lamb and return the pan to the oven for another 2 hours, turning the potatoes at least once and basting the lamb with the pan juices. The lamb should be very tender. Remove the meat from the pan and set it aside to rest before slicing.
- Increase the oven's heat to 425 degrees F.
- Add the olives to the potatoes and return the pan to the oven until the potatoes are golden, about 20 minutes. Serve the vegetables with the lamb and with some pan juices spooned over the top.
LAMB WITH LENTILS (CROCK POT)
This simple hearty stew needs a 5 -quart slow cooker/crock pot. One change I made when I made this recipe was to add a lamb bone (leftover from Easter dinner) and some leftover lamb (I think if you have enough leftover lamb this will work very well, but I also added 1 1/2 pounds or so of uncooked lamb - following the directions below) in the crock pot; then when I came home from work I took out the lamb bone (the meat from the bone already fell off the bone into the soup) and added the swiss chard, went out and dinner was done! The other change I made was instead of a whole can of tomatoes (which I didn't have) I used one can of broth, 1/2 can of tomatoes and 2 small cans of tomato juice. Very hearty and filling -- you would never even guess that this was a "healthy" recipe. Recipe source: The Healthy Slow Cooker

LAMB IN THE SLOW COOKER
We adore Australian or New Zealand lamb, which has more flavor than the blander US lamb. So I was happy to have been given this simple recipe using a Crock-Pot®. Great served with mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the lamb cubes and bones and brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add onion and garlic and continue cooking about 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Stir in the lentils, 2 cups of the chicken broth, tomatoes, carrots and the thyme, sage and basil. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, until the lentils are tender but not quite done, stirring occasionally. Depending on the type and freshness of the lentils, this will take from 15 to 30 minutes. If the stew seems dry, add more broth (up to one cup additional). Discard the lamb bones.
- Add the spinach and cook 5 minutes more. Stir in the lemon zest and juice. Garnish individual servings with some of the crumbled cheese.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to moderately slow (160c).
- Toss lamb shanks in seasoned flour, heat oil in a large saucepan and brown shanks in batches for 4-5 minutes or until browned all over. Transfer to a plate.
- Saute onion, carrot, celery and chili in same pan for 4-5 minutes until onion is tender. Stir through lentils, tomatoes water, wine and vinegar and bring to the boil.
- Place the lamb and sauce mixture into a large oven proof casserole dish; bake covered, stirring a couple of times for 1 1/2 hours.
- Uncover and cook a further hour or until meat is almost falling off the bone.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality lamb and lentils. Look for lamb that is fresh and has a good amount of marbling. Lentils should be sorted and rinsed before cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the crock pot. If you are using a small crock pot, you may need to cook the lamb and lentils in batches.
- Season the lamb and lentils generously. Use a variety of spices, such as cumin, coriander, and paprika, to create a flavorful dish.
- Add plenty of vegetables to the crock pot. Vegetables will help to add flavor and nutrition to the dish.
- Cook the lamb and lentils on low heat for 8-10 hours, or until the lamb is fall-off-the-bone tender and the lentils are cooked through.
Conclusion:
Lamb with lentils is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover lamb. The crock pot does all the work, so you can relax and enjoy a home-cooked meal without any hassle. Lamb with lentils is also a healthy dish that is packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins.
