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

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of lamb: For slow cooking, select a tougher cut of lamb with plenty of connective tissue, such as the shoulder or leg. These cuts will become tender and fall apart during the long cooking process.
  • Brown the lamb before slow cooking: Searing the lamb in a hot pan before adding it to the slow cooker will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a good quality stock or broth: The liquid you use in your slow cooker lamb recipe is important, as it will add flavor and moisture to the dish. Choose a good quality stock or broth that is made with real ingredients.
  • Add vegetables and herbs: Vegetables and herbs are great additions to slow cooker lamb recipes. They will add flavor and nutrients to the dish, and they will also help to keep the lamb moist.
  • Cook on low and slow: The key to tender, fall-apart lamb is to cook it on low and slow. This will allow the connective tissue to break down and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker lamb is a delicious and easy way to enjoy this flavorful meat. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious, home-cooked meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying meal, give slow cooker lamb a try.
