GREEK BONELESS LEG OF LAMB (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• Pat lamb dry and season generously with kosher salt and black pepper on all sides (if you have the time, set it aside at room temperature for up to 1 hour, otherwise continue on)
• Coat the bottom of a large skillet (I used my cast iron skillet) with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil. Heat skillet over medium heat until oil is shimmering but not smoking. Add the lamb and brown well on all sides (increase heat to medium-high if needed); about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool enough to handle.
• Cut a few slits into the lamb on both sides and insert a slice of garlic in each of the slits.
• Now make a wet garlic spice rub for the lamb. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, and paprika. Add lemon juice and 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Coat lamb on all sides with the garlic spice rub.
• Add pearl onions (or shallots) to the bottom of a large slow cooker (crock pot). Add wine and broth, then add the spiced lamb on top.
• Cover slow cooker and set on high for 3 to 4 hours or on low for 5 to 6 hours until lamb is fork-tender and you can easily pull it apart.
• Transfer to a serving platter adding the cooking juice on top or to the side to serve along. (See sides to serve along in the notes)

SLOW-COOKER LAMB CURRY

Steps:

• Cut the lamb into 2 to 3-inch cubes. Add all ingredients into the slow cooker and combine well.Pro tip - I start with the oil, shallots, ginger, and garlic - combine well. Then, add the curry powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Followed by adding the coconut milk, lemon juice, and water- combine well.
• Set the slow cooker on low for 6 to 8 hours OR on high for 4 hours. until the meat is fork-tender. Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with cilantro. Pro tip - if possible cook on low for 8 hours, I think the results are amazing.
• In a Dutch oven or heavy bottom skillet, add the oil, and saute the onions until translucent.Pro tip - if possible use a Dutch oven as it retains heat evenly and will cook without losing too much liquid. if not, use a heavy bottom skillet with a tight lid.
• Add the garlic and ginger and saute a minute more. Then add the meat and saute on medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes until no longer pink Pro tip - sauteing on medium-high heat will sear the meat keeping the juices inside.
• Next, add the curry powder, garam masala, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Add the coconut milk and water or stock.
• Cover the pot and simmer on low for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until the meat is fork-tender. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking at the bottom. Also, if necessary add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water at a time to ensure it has enough liquid to cook.Pro tip - if you use a Dutch oven it helps keep moisture inside the pot and you won't need to add more water. Other pots may have more evaporation
• When done taste and adjust the seasoning and consistency. If necessary add more water or turn the heat up to evaporate excess moisture. Pro tip - If you serve it with chapati, naan, or roti - keep it thick. If you serve with rice, add a little water to make a gravy.
• Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley
