Ingredients
- 2.0 kg / 4 lb lamb leg, bone in ((Note 1))
- 1 tsp salt
- black pepper
- 2 large garlic cloves (, minced)
- 1 1/2 tsp dried thyme OR rosemary ((or 2.5 tsp finely chopped fresh))
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups / 500ml beef stock ((or chicken) (Note 2))
- 1 sprig rosemary (, optional)
- 50 g / 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp / 40 g flour ((any white))
- 2 cups / 500 ml braising liquid from slow cooker (, strained)
- Salt and pepper
Steps
-
Place lamb in slow cooker or on work surface. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, thyme or rosemary and garlic. Drizzle over oil, then rub on both sides.
-
Pour beef stock into slow cooker, add sprig of rosemary (if using).
-
SLOW COOK on low for 10 hours, or pressure cook on high for 1 hour 40 minutes. (See oven version here)
-
The lamb should be tender enough to pull off with tongs, but still holding together (just!). Carefully remove lamb from slow cooker and transfer to tray.
-
Drizzle lightly with oil (any). Bake at 200C/390F for 20 minutes or until browned. Remove and rest for 10 minutes before serving with gravy.
-
Strain liquid in slow cooker into a bowl - you will have more than the 2 cups of broth you added, I usually have over 3 cups. Measure out 2 cups of liquid, reserve remaining liquid just in case.
-
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook for 1 minute.
-
Add a bit of liquid, mixing as you go so it dissolves. Then add remaining liquid. Whisk if there are lumps.
-
Increase to medium high heat and cook, stirring regularly, until thickened to your taste. Use remaining liquid to thin if required.
