Catherine’s Lamb Stew in the Slow Cooker

Recipes

Shoulder of Lamb is perfect for the slow cooker and it’s great if you’re on a budget as it’s one of the cheaper cuts of meat. There’s nothing nicer on a winter’s day than coming home to the smell of home cooked food as you walk through the door after a busy day.

Ingredients (Serves 6-8)

  • 2 tbsp oil 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 Kg diced shoulder of lamb 1 litre stock
  • 3 carrots Herbs – parsley, thyme, rosemary
  • 2 onions 50g cornflour

Method

  • Brown the meat in a pan with the oil until coloured on all sides. Blend the cornflour with the meat when browning – this will help to thicken the sauce.
  • Transfer to the slow cooker along with the carrots, onions, garlic, herbs, stock, salt and pepper.
  • Cook in the slow cooker for 7-8 hours on low or 4-5 hours on high.
  • Serve with potatoes or rice.
  • Leftovers can be frozen.
