Super Easy – but also Super Tasty
We had this with roast vegies, but it would also be really lovely served in rolls.
An easy, tasty way to cook a Leg of Lamb
No liquid?
The meat will release a tonne of it’s own liquids during cooking Elaine 🙂
I didn’t have the right spice blend so used Tuscan herbs and added a cup of white wine . Delicious!
Does this turn out really mushy like baby food or just tender
It’s not “mushy” unless you mash it up or something? It’s just a really tender roast lamb 🙂
Thanks for this recipe Jenny, it is now the only one I use for my lamb legs, just so easy! Always turns out perfect and we love it!
This was amazing thanks so much for sharing I will never cook another roast lamb in the oven it just fell off the bone.. yum
Ive got a 2.5kg lamb leg would i cook it for 8 hrs on low
8hrs at least yes 🙂
How long would you put a 1kg half leg of lamb on for?
I’d still do at least 6hrs on low for a tender result
Do you use a tea towel
Don’t use a tea towel … that’s for baking and breads and cake type recipes 🙂
Tea Towel Trick
I want to do this for lunch on the weekend… Would it be okay on high for 4 hours?
Ideally a longer lower cooking time is best 🙂
I’m wanting to do the potatoes in the sc too, when should i put them in? TIA
From the start to be sure they are tender 🙂
OMG!!!!!!!!!!. The only recipe I will use for roast lamb from now on and so easy!!!!!!!!. Tender,tender,tender and yummo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very easy,tender and delicious recipe. Only way I will be cooking roast lamb from now on.
I am wanting to give this one a go. I would like to do sweet potato, plain potato and pumpkin. Do I put them all in with the meat at the same time? If so…on top or underneath?
Yes you can add them at the start too
Around the base of the meat is fine
Remember they will be soft like result as they sit in the juices but some like to then crisp them in the oven 🙂
Alternatively you can add them on top in foil parcels to keep them dryer or even beside your roast in an oven bag
Have done 2 roast lambs now, first time i used whole potatoes, carrots cut in half, and some pumkin as a bed, then laid the roast on top of them, added 500ml veg stock, smothered the roast in rosemary and lamb herbs was perfect! Second time done the same but didnt use veg & used less liquid. Melt in your mouth ??
So yummy, and easy!
My roast was so big it only just fit in! Cooked for 9.5 hours on low, would have loved another half hour but we were starving! I also added potatoes wrapped in foil around the roast, which I crisped in the oven for 20 minutes before serving to crisp them up. Will defiantly do again!
how long would i cook a 2kg mint rolled leg of lamb for on low
8-10hrs low
Absolutely delish!
Just placed my seasoned 1.6 kg leg of lamb in SC on low, do you suggest time frame of approx 7/8 hrs. First time doing this in SC, looking for a good result. ???
I’d recommend 8-9hrs low for that size 🙂
I have tried this last Sunday and it was tasty. i do not have lamb herbs, so I use rosemary, oregano and basil instead, added some salt and pepper and garlic powder too. It still turns out alright that even my 3 year old son who doesn’t eat lamb ate it. Partnered it with roast potato and onion and it was just amazing. i will definitely do it again. Thank you for the recipe. By the way, I got lamb herbs already to make sure i have it next time.
Do you add any salt?
No you don’t need to Holly, but you could add some if you preferred or let others add it at the table instead 🙂
This lamb was so tender and juicy. It smelled absolutely delicious and tasted awesome. We all loved it and have a little left over for sandwiches tomorrow x
I made this last weekend to have in rolls for lunch, for six.
omg, this way of cooking lamb did not disappoint. Also made gravy using the lamb juice’s.
So easy but ever so tasty and tender. Used fresh rosemary and garlic and dried herbs for the rest. Forgot the mint but served with mint jelly. This is my go to for Roast Lamb definitely. ?
This was delicious, I often find it hard to get the family to eat lamb but they absolutely loved this. My husband even asked why the lamb tastes so much more flavoursome. Thanks for the brilliant recipe. It will be one of my go to favourites.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback Naomi – you’re awesome for doing so!
I don’t have lamb herbs what can I use instead.
The lamb herbs mix as per bottle is : Rosemary 59%, Garlic, Marjoram, Thyme, Oregano, Mint 5%, Basil. So if I replaced it I’d focus on basically just the Rosemary and Mint.
