Crock Pot Leg of Lamb
By: Bokenpop
Mar 9, 2005
I love the flavour combination of lemon, garlic and herbs with lamb and this recipe fulfills my taste buds' expectations! This is not meant to be a roast, but is meant to be fall apart soft - almost like a Mediterranean flavoured "pulled lamb".
SERVES 4 -8
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 lbs leg of lamb, preferably bone out
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 4-6 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons dried mint
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
Directions
1
Using the crock pot's ceramic dish, mix together oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano and nutmeg.2
Immerse leg of lamb into the mixture and cook on high for 6- 8 hours until falling apart.3
Just before removing meat from crock pot, mix together mint, sugar and vinegar in dish and microwave for 30 seconds until vinegar is hot enough to melt sugar.4
Remove meat to serving platter and pull apart with forks until you have chunky shreds of meat.5
Drizzle over mint vinegar and serve piping hot.

Very good and easy. I trimmed the fat from a boneless leg of lamb before cooking, thickened the gravy with flour and served over rice. I served the mint sauce on the side which was very nice drizzled over the lamb and gravy. We will certainly be having this again as it was very enjoyable.

I do not mean to come across rude, just honest. I must admit that I expected something very good (great ingredients, easy and rave reviews) and was very disappointed. Lamb is almost buttery tasting when cooked correctly and this was just dry. I love lemon, garlic, oregano and nutmeg but this one just didn't get it for my family. Lamb is to expensive to waste, IMO. My family asked me to never cook this one again as we all had a hard time with the little on our plates and had to throw most of it away.

This is very good. My lamb had a bone and it came out perfect. I defatted the the juices in the crock pot and thickened it up and served it over the meat instead of the sweet/sour mint sauce. My husband says he doesn't want lamb any other way.
