Crock Pot Lamb Roast

Crock Pot Lamb Roast


Lamb Roasting Piece IMPORTANT Choose a piece of lamb that is going to fit in the pot.

A lamb leg is good.

Vegetables Cut into inch size pieces and put in the Crock Pot first. Choose any vegetable you would normally roast. They will not be crispy, but soft and take on the flavor of the meat.

You can add something else to enhance the lamb flavor. However you don't have to add anything if you don?t want.

Ideas # 1 1 tablespoons butter mixed with 1 teaspoon of ?Roast Lamb Seasoning? (mixture of rosemary, oregano, mint leaves, clove and garlic)- and rub over raw meat. # 2 1 tablespoons butter mixed with 1 teaspoon of garlic - and rub over raw meat.

DIRECTIONS Place vegetables (if cooking) in first then put the meat in the pot - rub on butter and extras if required. And that?s it. Nothing else to do or add.

Cook for about 4?6 hours on high OR 8?10 hours on low.

I have what I call a "very small" crock pot. It looks as if it will hole maybe 3 qts. maximum of water or a very small roast. When a recipe calls for a quantity such as you described above, can one cut the meat in half and freeze it without it ruining the flavor? Also, would the spice quantities and other ingredients be halved or quartered, depending upon the size of the cut of the meat?

mcgill - you can use a piece of meat that will fit comfortably in your crockpot - and if it needs to be cut - just freeze the other half for the next time - if halving the recipe - do the same with all the ingredients - seasonings are easy - those can always be adjusted to taste - add as many veggies as will compliment your roast

remember - not knowing how old you crockpot is - the older (original) models cooked slower than today's new ones - different and updated heating elements are to blame!

hope this helps!!

Thanks for the recipe, Kitchen Witch! I've just put a 2 pound Lamb Foreshank into my Rival Crock Pot with some Green Beans, Sliced New Potatoes and 1/2" cubed Turnips. A few seasonings, a couple of whole Jalapenos and set it for 6 hours on High.

I've never used my Crock Pot for Lamb, so this will be a great trial for me!

BTW, this is a great looking site. I just joined about a half hour ago!

I don't have a crock pot, but, for crock pot recipes, I use a clay pot with lid and set oven at 200 degrees F. and roast for 8-10 hours.
