Slow Cooker Lemon-Honey Lamb Shoulder

This is a delicious & easy recipe for a lamb shoulder. The slow cooker is the secret to its success. Serve with roasted sweet potatoes and green beans. Fabulous!
  • Ingredients:
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) grated lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper
  • 1.24 kg boneless lamb shoulder roasts
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) liquid honey
  • 6 shallots, quartered
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) cornstarch
  • Directions:

  • 1) Combine garlic, rosemary, lemon zest, salt and pepper; rub all over lamb. Place
    in slow cooker. Whisk lemon juice with honey; pour over lamb. Add shallots. Cover and cook on low until lamb is tender, 7 to 8 hours.

    2) Remove lamb to cutting board; tent with foil and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Skim fat from cooking liquid.

    3) If you want to make a gravy, just whisk cornstarch with 2 tsp water; whisk into slow cooker. Cover and cook on high until thickened, about 10 minutes. Serve with lamb.
