SLOW-COOKED LEG OF LAMB WITH GARLIC, LEMON & ROSEMARY (IN THE CROCKPOT!) image

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 leg of lamb (that will fit in your CrockPot - if not, get the butcher to cut off the shank end) - with or without bone
1 lemon
4-5 garlic cloves, sliced or crushed
1 Tbsp. fresh rosemary, chopped
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. coarse salt
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup wine, chicken or beef stock, tomato juice or water

Steps:

On a chopping board, pat your lamb dry with paper towels. Finely grate about half the zest off the lemon and grind into a paste with the garlic, rosemary, oil, salt and pepper using a mortar and pestle. Rub the paste all over the lamb. If you like, let it sit on the countertop for half an hour or so, or refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. Put it into the CrockPot. Add about half a cup of liquid. Squeeze the juice of the lemon overtop too. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
