Notes
- If you want to add even more flavour to the gravy, then once you have taken the seared lamb out of the pan, you can de-glaze it with either some stock of a glug of red wine. Once added to the pan, use a wooden spoon to scrape it and then pour it in to the slow cooker.
- If you have any gravy left over, you can wait for it to cool and then pour it into freezer bags, lay flat and freeze.
- The key to making this lamb really special is cutting the holes in it and stuffing them with garlic and rosemary.
- Make sure you pour the stock in to the side of the lamb, as you don't want to knock the rosemary and garlic out of the lamb.
- If you want to add some more flavour, and make it extra crispy on the outside, then after it has finished cooking in the slow cooker, transfer it to a roasting tin and cook it in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
