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.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of lamb: For this recipe, a shoulder or leg of lamb is ideal. These cuts are tough but become tender when cooked slowly.
- Brown the lamb before cooking: Browning the lamb in a hot pan before adding it to the slow cooker helps to develop flavor and color.
- Use a good quality stock: The stock you use will contribute to the flavor of the dish, so use a good quality stock or broth.
- Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor and nutrition to the dish. Some good options include onions, carrots, celery, and potatoes.
- Season the dish well: Be generous with the salt and pepper, and add other spices or herbs to taste.
- Cook the lamb on low for 8-10 hours: This will give the lamb time to become tender and fall off the bone.
- Serve the lamb with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad are all good options.
Conclusion:
Slow-cooked lamb with onions and thyme is a delicious and easy dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The lamb is tender and flavorful, and the onions and thyme add a delicious depth of flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
