Slow Cooker Roasted Shoulder of Lamb with Garlic & Rosemary and Lamb Gravy | Cooking with Corinna. This is another tasty recipe using a cheaper cut of meat. I really like lamb, but it can be quite expensive. The shoulder, however, is very reasonably priced and tasty. I really like slow cooked meat, it’s always wonderfully tender. Using a slow cooker is a really energy efficient way of slow cooking meat, and means you can be out of the house all day. However, there is a 3lb 5oz/1.5kg maximum on the size of joint you can use in a slow cooker (this does vary depending on the size and model, check your instruction manual to be sure).

I always buy a bigger joint than I actually need so I have plenty of leftovers to make another meal the next day, or to freeze for later. For this recipe I used a 1.4kg joint which served 3 adults, with enough leftover to make a shepherd’s pie for 2 greedy people the next day (it could have easily served 3 adults or a family). Ingredients: Shoulder of lamb – 3lb/1.36kg Rosemary – a few sprigs Garlic – 3-5 large cloves (peeled & halved) Olive oil – ½ tablespoon. Slow-Cooker Pot Roast.
