10 Hour Slow Cooked Lamb Shoulder

We took slow cooking to another level with this lamb shoulder cooked with red wine, garlic and rosemary. After 10 hours of low and slow cooking, this beautiful cut of meat just simply fell off the bone.

Lamb is our favourite meat to slow cook. With this recipe, you just need to make sure your slow cooker is big enough to fit the cut of meat you buy! If you’re unsure you could even measure the width of your slow cooker. And if you’re at the butchers, you can always ask them to cut off any extra bone that could cause problems for you!

If your lamb shoulder is prepared with butchers string, keep it on and use that to hold the rosemary in place.

Cut some little pockets into the lamb to stuff whole garlic cloves into. Not only will this make the lamb taste amazing, but those slow cooked whole garlic cloves will taste incredible by themselves too.

For the wine, any red will do. When slow cooking there’s no need to buy an expensive wine!

We served with potatoes and greens. Just look at that clean bone!
