Ingredients

• 1.5 kilograms boneless leg of lamb
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 6 large garlic cloves
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 medium onions
• 3 medium carrots
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 0.5 cup red wine
• 2 bay leaves

Directions

Step 1

Peel and slice the garlic cloves into thin slices.

Step 2

Using a small sharp knife, make incisions in the lamb and insert the garlic slices and small sprigs of rosemary into these slits.

Step 3

Rub the lamb all over with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, ensuring it's evenly coated.

Step 4

Place the chopped onions and carrots at the bottom of the slow cooker to form a base layer.

Step 5

Place the prepared lamb leg on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and red wine around the lamb, but not directly on top of it to maintain the seasoning.

Step 7

Add the bay leaves into the liquid.

Step 8

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 7 hours until the lamb is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the lamb from the slow cooker and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve the lamb with the cooked vegetables and a drizzle of the cooking juices.
