Like it saucy? Spoon the cooking liquid over the lamb shoulder to add flavour and keep the meat moist.
Give it a twist Instead of lamb shoulder, you could use forequarter lamb chops. Brown them up nicely in the pan before cooking!
Method
-
Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add lamb and cook for 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned all over.
-
Put vegetables in the bowl of a 4.5L slow cooker and sit lamb on top. Top with garlic, lemon and herbs. Pour over wine and stock. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
-
Remove lamb from cooker and transfer to a chopping board. Roughly cut into large pieces.
-
Serve lamb and vegetables topped with a little of the cooking liquid, scattered with feta, pistachios and extra oregano.
