Hello Friends, Well, it's less than a week until Easter Sunday and I usually have already picked out my Ham for Easter dinner by this time, however, as I've mentioned before, I'm trying to go a lot lighter on the Sodium right now. Since my Ham has around 730 mg of Sodium per two-slice serving and the same two slices of Lamb have only around 128 mg of Sodium, this year, I think we'll try this incredibly easy, delicious slow cooker boneless leg of lamb with mint glaze. Lamb intimidates many people, especially those who didn’t grow up eating it and therefore, never learned how to cook it. They just do not realize that the simplest solution is located right under their kitchen counters in their slow cooker. It takes all of about 15 minutes to make this simple glaze, then you just smear it on the meat, and plop it into the slow cooker and then within 7 to 9 hours later, you'll be rewarded with some juicy, flavorful, tender lamb. Enough to serve 6 to 8 of my family of hearty eaters. Slow Cooker Boneless Leg Of Lamb With Mint Ingredients - 1 large onion, peeled and sliced into rings
- 4 to 5 pound boneless leg of lamb
- ⅓ cup prepared mint jelly
- 12 fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions - Suggested Slow Cooker Size: 6-quart
- Spray your slow cooker with oil or nonstick spray.
- Separate the onion rings and place them in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Place your boneless leg of lamb on top of the onion rings.
- In a small mixing bowl, stir together the mint jelly, fresh mint, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Smear the mint mixture on all sides of the meat.
- Cover, and cook on low for 7 hours, or until the lamb is fully cooked and begins to relax and lose it’s shape. (Mine is usually done in about 6.5 hours)
- To thicken the gravy, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth and then whisk the mixture into the hot juices. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
Have A Blessed Week My Friends, Phil
