Lamb Kleftico – slow cooker version

This is a traditional Greek dish that’s slow cooked for hours.  It is absolutely melt in the mouth delicious and a joint favourite for my Dad and I.  Usually one of us makes it for the other on a special occasion and even better it’s syn free!

It was my turn to cook for him and I always do the biggest lamb leg I can, this time that was an absolute cooking fail as it didn’t fit in the frying pan to seal or in the slow cooker.  My trusty hammer and a knife sorted that out but I strongly urge you to not be like me and measure your lamb leg before you start.  Or buy a hacksaw.

Rather than waste the potatoes I chose to cook them as the lamb was resting, I put frylite in the pan and ground sea salt over the potatoes and cooked them in a hot pan to brown/crisp the outsides.  They were delicious.
