Lamb In Slow Cooker

[NoMercy]

I was wondering about cooking leg of lamb in the slow cooker.

Anyone ever tried this?

Thanks.

Yes, cooked it on Sunday, with Rosemary, Mint and Garlic, very nice it was to.

I pretty much followed this recipe,

apart from my piece had the bone still in and didn't fall apart.

It's the only way I do it now. Brown it off then cover in lamb stock and add crushed garlic cloves, a generous sprinkling of dried mint and a few spoonfuls of redcurrant jelly. I usually put on around midday on medium to eat at 6 ish, it's lovely. Sieve the stock and thicken to make the best ever lamb gravy.

Tbh honest mine doesn't really get carved, it just falls to bits, but we don't mind pieces instead of slices.

I'll have to try removing the bone first next time, I'm still a total amateur when it comes to Sunday lunch, but I'm learning. :-)

Thanks guys. I really want that meltingly tender result.

Sainsburys have half legs half price and I can fit two of those in my slow cooker. I can taste it now!

Done it a few times in the slow cooker with mint, garlic and rosemary gravy but just wasn't the same as doing in the oven.
