Directions
1Make several small slits about 1-2cm deep into the lamb and insert a half a garlic clove and some rosemary sprigs in each hole
2Place lamb in slow cooker bowl
3Mix stock powder with water, combine mint sauce with this liquid and pour into base of slow cooker bowl
4Cook on low for 6-8hrs depending on your machine
5I spooned the juices from the bowl over my lamb several times over the course of the day to achieve this color but that's optional.
6Remove garlic/rosemary from meat prior to carving
7Beautiful served with roast vegetables and gravy made on the pan juices
8You may also chose to place your roast vegetables under the lamb when you put this dish on if you prefer 🙂

Juicy, tender, flavoursome, smothered with beautiful gravy from pan juices makes for a delicious ‘Roast’ with very little effort. If you haven’t tried it – give it a go – you won’t be sorry.

Another amazing recipe, cooked to perfection! We loved the subtle minty taste through the lamb! 1yr old loved it too 🥰🥰

Jodie I would still give one that size at least 6hrs high if not more – it can vary a bit on your cooker 🙂

Hi I was just wandering could you do this on high? If so how long do you think say for a 2kg leg of lamb… just thinking for christmas lunch 8 hours would make for a very very early rise out of bed

It won’t change the cooking time 🙂 Just be aware that by the end of cooking time they will be sitting in/under the cooking liquids that it will produce.
So they’ll be lovely and tender and full of flavour but won’t be crisp etc. Some like to crisp up in the oven at the end but I don’t bother doing so 🙂

What difference would it make if the vegetables were put under/over the lamb? Thanks

I used a 2kg shoulder rather than a leg and it turned out AMAZING! I have a very happy husband and inlaws all with full bellies. The gravy was spectacular too. There is just enough leftover meat and gravy for a roast lamb roll for hubby’s lunch tomorrow. Can’t rate this highly enough!

100% Foolproof and absolutely beautiful. Loved by whole family, including 3yo. Too easy…soo nice! 2.5kg leg was no problem.
This is also, totally a, “newbie-friendly” recipe, so give it a go!

This was absolutely beautiful, I did change a few things and added mint jelly in place of the liquid mint sauce. Also added a quartered onion and 5 garlic knobs to the base.

This is a great recipe. I browned mine in the oven on high after cooking, for the traditional “roasted” look.

Tried this last night! It was incredible! Added a little bit more stock to make gravy with and left out the mint sauce (hubby not a fan of mint sauce) and we were practically licking our plates clean!
Great for when it is too hot to have the oven on!
