Total Time 4 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • Lamb leg roast 900g to 1kg (see notes)
  • 2x cups of beef stock
  • 2tsp minced garlic
  • 2x sprigs of thyme or 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1x sprig of rosemary or 1 tsp of dried Rosemary
  • 1tsp dried parsley
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place all ingredients into a slow cooker and cook on high for 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
  • When the lamb meat looks like it's falling off the bone it's ready.
  • I placed my lamb on a tray and covered it with foil to rest for as long as possible and finished it off in the oven on 180deg for 10 mins to warm it back up and to get the outside of the roast crispy but that is completely optional.
  • See the notes section on how to use the delicious stock that's left in your slow cooker for a delicious lamb gravy.

Notes

  • Make sure you check the size of your slow cooker to make sure you purchase a lamb roast that will fit.
  • The stock left over in the slow cooker makes an amazing gravy, I ladled 2 cups into a saucepan and thickened it with my favourite gravy powder. Roast meat gravox powder has given me the best flavour. I use about 4-5 tablespoons and whisk it really well to help prevent those lumps and then add some salt and pepper to finish it off. As soon as its nice and thick its ready to pour all over your tender roast lamb.
