Slow Cooker Lamb Roast

This set-and-forget lamb roast will reward you with enough juicy, succulent meat to feed a crowd. The recipe feeds six, but you can easily adjust it to serve more or less people at your dining table, or to simply enjoy some leftovers! How to make a slow cooker lamb roast: key tips Use a small, sharp knife, such as a paring knife, to make incisions 1-2cm deep all over the lamb. Slice the garlic cloves into halves, thirds or quarters, depending on the size of the cloves, and push the pieces into the incisions you made in the lamb. Placing the potatoes in the slow cooker first and then nestling the lamb on top keeps the lamb elevated while cooking so that it cooks more evenly and doesn’t become stuck on the bottom of the cooker. One thing that people often do when cooking a large piece of meat in the slow cooker is take it out as soon as it’s done. Then they discover that the meat is lacking flavour and even a bit dry. This is because the meat needs to be rested. At the end of the cooking time, rest the lamb in the cooking liquid, so that the protein relaxes and some of the juices in the slow cooker are reabsorbed into the meat. The result? Wonderfully succulent lamb that is full of flavour. You will know your lamb is ready when the meat can be easily pierced and pulled apart with a fork. Key ingredients in this slow cooker lamb roast recipe When choosing a lamb roast for your lamb, a bone-in leg of lamb works very well, but you could also make this meal using a boneless shoulder roast, if you desire. Potatoes bulk up this slow cook and add heartiness. Choose medium waxy potatoes, such as Dutch cream or red potatoes. Personally, I like to use baby (chat) potatoes, as you don’t need to peel them and they hold their shape after cooking for ages. I simply halve them, or quarter them, if large. I really love to use fresh bay leaves when slow cooking, as they not only impart an amazing flavour to the meat, but their aroma is incredible.
