Slow cooker leg of lamb on a plate

2 tbsp olive oil
1.3kg boneless leg of lamb
tied
30g unsalted butter
2 tbsp plain flour
300ml lamb stock
200ml red wine
2 red onions
cut into wedges
2 garlic cloves
sliced
5 sprigs of thyme
5 sprigs of rosemary
mashed potatoes
and steamed veg, to serve

Method

step 1
Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the lamb and brown on each side for 4-5 mins. Set the slow cooker to low. Melt the butter in a saucepan until foaming, then stir through the flour. Whisk in the stock gradually until incorporated, add the wine and bring to the boil. Set aside.
step 2
Put the onion, garlic, thyme and rosemary into your slow cooker and sit the lamb on top. Pour over the lamb gravy. Put the lid on and cook for 8 hrs or until soft and tender.
step 3
Remove the lamb and set, covered, on a plate. Strain the liquid into a pan and simmer until slightly thickened. Serve the lamb thickly sliced or shredded (it'll be quite soft) with mashed potatoes, green veg and the gravy.
