LEG OF LAMB FOR THE SLOW COOKER / CROCK POT
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:
- Choosing the right cut of lamb: Opt for a boneless leg of lamb for easy preparation and even cooking.
- Marinating the lamb: Enhance the flavor of your lamb by marinating it overnight or for a minimum of 4 hours. Yogurt, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and lemon zest make a delicious marinade.
- Browning the lamb: Before slow cooking, sear the lamb in a hot skillet to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
- Adding vegetables: Roast vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and parsnips alongside the lamb for a complete meal.
- Using herbs and spices: Infuse your lamb with aromatic flavors by adding herbs like rosemary, thyme, and oregano, along with spices such as cumin, coriander, and paprika.
- Checking the internal temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness. Aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 160°F (71°C) for medium, and 170°F (77°C) for well-done.
- Letting the lamb rest: After cooking, let the lamb rest for about 10 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in tender and flavorful meat.
Conclusion:
With its tender meat and delectable flavors, leg of lamb is a culinary delight perfect for special occasions or everyday meals. Using a slow cooker or crock pot makes the cooking process effortless, allowing you to create a succulent and satisfying dish without much hassle. Experiment with different marinades, herbs, and spices to customize the flavor profile to your liking.
