Slow Roast Leg of Lamb

Recipesfull introduces to you: Easter Recipes. (Slow Roast Leg of Lamb). If you're slow-roasting lamb, it comes out so tender you don't need a knife to cut it. And when I say slow, I mean slow - 7 hours. And I am roasting the leg of lamb in the oven, not in a slow cooker. Tastes great served with Dauphinoise potatoes or mashed potatoes and vegetables.

Place carrots and garlic in a roasting pan large enough for the leg of lamb. Place lamb on top. Pour in wine and lamb stock. Place roasting pan on the stove and heat over medium-low heat until liquid is boiling. Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil using oven mitts to protect your hands and place in the oven.

Step 3

Roast in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium about 7 hours. Remove from the oven.

Step 4

Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Transfer lamb into a second roasting pan.
