Ingredients

• 1500 grams boneless leg of lamb
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 8 whole garlic cloves
• 5 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 large onion
• 500 milliliters chicken or beef broth

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the garlic and rosemary. Peel the garlic cloves and slice them lengthwise. Set aside. Strip the rosemary leaves from their stems and roughly chop them. Set aside.

Step 2

Season the boneless leg of lamb with salt and ground black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once hot, add the lamb to the skillet and sear it on all sides until it's browned, about 5-6 minutes per side. This step is crucial for locking in flavors.

Step 5

While the lamb is searing, slice the onion into thick rounds and place them at the bottom of your slow cooker.

Step 6

Once the lamb is seared, remove it from the skillet and place it on top of the sliced onions in the slow cooker.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the sliced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until aromatic but not browned.

Step 8

Pour the garlic along with any oil over the lamb in the slow cooker.

Step 9

Add the chopped rosemary to the lamb and pour the chicken or beef broth over everything.

Step 10

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on LOW heat for 6 hours or until the lamb is tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Serve the slow-cooked lamb with the onion and garlic from the cooker, and a spoonful of the cooking juices for added flavor. Pair with steamed vegetables for a complete low-carb meal.
