SLOW COOKED LEG OF LAMB

Slow cooked, melt-in-the-mouth meat that needs seven hours in the oven but little more than seven minutes work from the cook

Provided by Orlando Murrin

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 7h45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large leg of lamb, about 3kg/6lb 8oz
4 onions, sliced
8 garlic cloves, peeled, but left whole
4 carrots, leave whole if small or quarter lengthways
300ml white wine
300ml stock, use what you have
2 tbsp Armagnac or Madeira, optional, to finish
thyme sprigs, to finish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 120C/fan 100C/gas ½. Put your largest lidded casserole on the hob and brown the seasoned leg of lamb on all sides - do this very thoroughly until it is a good dark brown as it will not brown during the cooking. (If you don't do it now, it will end up beige.) If the lamb sticks, add a drizzle of oil - legs of lamb differ. Allow 10 mins on a high heat and put on the cooker fan to remove the smoke. Pour away any fat that has collected in the bottom of the pan.
  • Throw in the vegetables, followed by the wine and stock. Season and bring to the boil, then clap on the lid and put in the oven. Bake for 7 hrs, turning twice. After 5 hrs the meat will be cooked and offer no resistance to the knife.
  • There is no need to rest the meat when cooked in this way, but to finish the sauce, transfer the meat and vegetables to a serving dish. Strain the sauce into a jug and pour or blot away the fat with kitchen paper. Pour the sauce into a pan then boil the liquid hard to reduce by a quarter, by which time it will be rich and flavoursome. Adjust seasoning, add the Armagnac if you wish, and serve alongside the lamb, which should be served with a spoon, a la cuillère as the French call it.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of lamb: For this recipe, a leg of lamb is best. It's a large, flavorful cut that will cook evenly in the slow cooker.
  • Sear the lamb before cooking: Searing the lamb in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker will help to develop its flavor and create a crispy crust.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the lamb in a mixture of herbs, spices, and olive oil will help to infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the lamb on low heat: Cooking the lamb on low heat for 8-10 hours will help to make it tender and fall-off-the-bone.
  • Let the lamb rest before serving: Once the lamb is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker roasted leg of lamb is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The lamb is fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor, and the vegetables are perfectly roasted. Serve this dish with a side of mashed potatoes or rice, and enjoy!
