I had a Leg of Lamb in the freezer I have wanted to cook but just have not had the time. In order to get it done, I decided on this Slow Cooker Leg of Lamb Recipe.
This is a simple recipe that doesn’t require a lot of ingredients, but you need to allow enough time to marinate it overnight if you want to get it into the slow cooker the next morning.
This recipe is bone-in with the shank cut off so it would fit in the slow cooker-I am sure you could also use a boneless leg of ham if that’s what you have available.
