LEG OF LAMB FOR THE SLOW COOKER / CROCK POT



Leg of Lamb for the Slow Cooker / Crock Pot image

Lamb is consumed quite a bit in Australia. I cooked this leg of lamb in the slow cooker today for Little Miss (DD) and Hubby (DD). I don't eat red meat, but I don't deprive my family if they want to eat it. You may not want to season the lamb with salt, as this recipe has the liquid stock & soy which both have high salt contents, but it's up to your taste bugs. You could also push some rosemary into the incisions with the garlic or sprinkle some around the lamb once its in the Slow Cooker / Crock Pot. Hubby said the meat fell away from the bone. Enjoy

Time 10h2m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (2 1/2 kg) leg of lamb
5 garlic cloves, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil, enough to rub leg of lamb
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, off stem and chopped or 2 tablespoons dried rosemary
salt and pepper, to taste
4 cups vegetable stock, liquid (salt reduced)
1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce

Steps:

  • Make small incisions in leg of lamb and insert the slices of garlic in each incision.
  • Rub olive oil, rosemary around the lamb and season with salt and pepper.
  • In large non-stick pan, brown leg of lamb.
  • While the lamb is browning, you can prepare the slow cooker/crock pot. Pour the stock and soy sauce into the slow cooker/crock pot. When the lamb is finishing browning add it to the slow cooker/crock pot.
  • Cover and cook for 8-10 hours on low setting.
  • Remove from slow cooker/crock pot and let rest 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of lamb: Leg of lamb is a classic choice for slow cooking, as it is a flavorful and tender cut of meat. You can also use other cuts of lamb, such as shoulder or shank, but they may require longer cooking times.
  • Brown the lamb before slow cooking: Browning the lamb in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker helps to develop its flavor and create a nice crust.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the lamb before slow cooking helps to infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, and rosemary, or a more complex marinade with yogurt, spices, and herbs.
  • Add vegetables to the slow cooker: Vegetables add flavor and nutrition to the lamb dish. Common vegetables to add include potatoes, carrots, onions, and celery.
  • Cook the lamb on low heat: Slow cooking the lamb on low heat for 8-10 hours allows the meat to become tender and fall off the bone.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooked leg of lamb is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight dinner. By following these tips, you can create a flavorful and tender lamb dish that your family and friends will love.
