Boneless leg of lamb

To cook this succulent cut of meat, you can either boil or braise it, or use a slow cooker. Both ways are delicious. This recipe calls for two types of lamb: boneless and bone in. Here, you’ll discover the benefits of each. For a bone-in version, you can use two quarts of stock and a tablespoon of butter to create the perfect sauce. To make this dish even more delicious, you can use more than one type of lamb stock.

Rub with garlic, lemon zest, and anchovies

To make this marinade, mix together rosemary, garlic, anchovies, lemon zest, and olive oil. Then, rub the mixture onto the lamb leg. Allow the marinade to sit for at least an hour and half. Once the lamb reaches a core temperature of 65degF, remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least half an hour before carving.

Cook in slow cooker

If you are looking for a simple way to prepare a succulent lamb leg, a slow cooker is an excellent choice. The lamb can be seasoned in a number of ways, but a simple way is by using a cast iron skillet. Using the same method, you can get a golden sear on your lamb, and it will add more flavor than simply cooking it in the slow cooker. You can add 2 teaspoons of lamb rub to the meat before searing it. You can also add some garlic powder to the onion to make the dish even better. Then, pour the liquids into the crock pot and stir well. Add the stock, water, and wine, if desired. Cook the leg in the slow cooker for 6–8 hours on low, or 4 hours on high.

Store leftovers in an airtight container

Keep the leftover slow-cooked lamb leg in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days. This meat is also great for sandwiches. To make leftover lamb even more versatile, wrap it in heavy-duty aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Store it in the fridge or freezer. It can be used for tacos, salads, or sandwiches. Here are some ideas for leftovers:

Serve with mashed or roasted potatoes

Slow cooked lamb leg can be reheated in the oven or microwave. The liquid that remains in the roasting pan will keep the meat moist and tender. This recipe also tastes great when served with green beans. Garlic butter goes well with this dish. If you’re serving lamb with mashed potatoes, make sure that the potatoes are well-steamed. You can also serve the lamb with green beans.

With risotto

If you want to try something a little different for your Easter dinner, try slow cooked lamb leg with risottop. This dish is delicious and will be sure to impress. You can use a pressure cooker or an instant pot to make this dish. You can also add a bit of extra parsley. It takes about 15 minutes to cook, and you can serve it with a simple lamb sauce.
