Slow Cooked Crock Pot Roman Lamb Recipes

SLOW COOKED CROCK POT ROMAN LAMB

Steps:

• Bone and dice the legs of lamb into apple size chunks.
• Drain & chop the lamb's kidneys if using into small dice.
• Heat up small quantities of olive oil and butter together & brown the lamb pieces over a very high heat until nutty brown and completely sealed. DO NOT overcrowd the pan - take your time!
• Place the lamb into a crock pot as you brown them.
• If using the kidneys, brown them quickly over a high heat too & add to the lamb.
• In a food mixer, mix together the following: anchovies, rosemary leaves - not the branches, the peeled cloves garlic, salt & pepper, balsamic & red wine vinegars & cup of water. Blitz until thoroughly blended & smooth.
• Add the food mixer blend to the lamb & kidneys in the crockpot. Stir well.
• Don't worry if the mixture looks too thick - we still have all the lamb juices to cook into it all!
• Cook on automatic for up to maximum time - 8-12 hours OR on high for 4 hours & then low for up to 6 hours. The meat will be meltingly tender & have made a thinner sauce/gravy.
• This can be kept warm for up to 2 hours too - and it freezes beautifully!
• Serve with fresh rosemary garnish and with simple fresh vegetables such as greens & steamed or mashed potatoes.
• Can also be eaten Summer style with fresh crusty bread or pasta and salad.

LAMB IN THE SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb and cook until outside is browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and add onion to the oil in the skillet. Saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
• Place onion in the bottom of a slow cooker pot and place the lamb roast on top. Mix water, soy sauce, garlic, and onion soup mix together and pour over the roast. Cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours.
• Remove roast, cover lightly with foil, and let rest for 20 minutes before carving. Mix butter and flour into a paste. Add small pieces of this paste to the hot cooking liquid, mixing well to incorporate. Cook until sauce reaches desired thickness, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Slice roast thinly and serve with gravy.
