Greek Lamb With Spinach and Orzo image

One of my very favorite recipes (can't recall where I got it anymore)... easy and so delicious! Even non-lamb eaters like this one. This reheats very well. I serve it with a salad and pita bread.

Time 8h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 boneless leg of lamb (approx. 3-4 lb.)
1 tablespoon dried oregano, crushed
1 tablespoon finely shredded lemon peel
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 (10 ounce) bag of prewashed fresh spinach, chopped
5 cups cooked orzo pasta
4 ounces crumbled feta cheese (I use a lot more)
1/2 cup pine nuts (to garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • Trim fat from meat. Cut to fit into 3.5-6Qt. slow cooker. Combine oregano, lemon peel, garlic, and salt in small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over lamb and rub lightly. Place lamb in crockpot. Sprinkle with lemon juice.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high 4-5 hours.
  • Remove lamb, discard fat, chop meat and set aside. Add spinach to cooker (with juices), stirring until spinach is wilted. Add cooked orzo, feta, and lamb; stir to mix.
  • A sprinkling of toasted pine nuts (pignoli) is a nice touch.
