Seven Hour Lamb with Red Wine Recipes

Seven Hour Lamb with Red Wine

 
If you're looking for a slow cooker dish that takes less than 15 minutes to prep and can feed a family of 15, then this dish is for you.

Ingredients:
6 lb leg of lamb
4 onions, finely sliced
8 garlic cloves, peeled and whole
4 small carrots, whole
300ml red wine
300ml stock
2 tbsp Armagnac or Madeira, optional
Thyme sprigs for garnish
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Season the leg of lamb by rubbing salt and pepper over it.
2. In a large slow cooker brown the leg of lamb on all sides over medium high heat. This should take about ten minutes.
3. Once the meat has browned, drain away any excess fat.
4. Add in the onions, garlic and carrots and sauté.
5. Add in the wine and stock as well and add pepper and salt to taste
6. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours until meat is nice and tender.
7. Add Armagnac and serve.

Cooking Tips:
If the lamb sticks while browning, simply add a few drops a bit of oil over it. This will prevent the lamb from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning. If the sauce becomes too much, strain from the cooker and reduce it in a pan
