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.
