Ingredients
- 1 4-pound lamb shoulder roast
- 6 whole garlic cloves
- 4 whole fresh rosemary sprigs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large onion
- 3 medium carrots
- 2 large celery stalks
- 1 cup chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the lamb shoulder. Pat it dry with paper towels to ensure all excess moisture is removed.
Step 2
Using a small sharp knife, make several shallow cuts all over the lamb. Insert slices of garlic into each slit.
Step 3
Coat the lamb with olive oil, rubbing it in to cover all sides.
Step 4
Season the lamb generously with sea salt and black pepper to enhance the flavor.
Step 5
Place the lamb into the slow cooker.
Step 6
Chop the onion, carrots, and celery into large, rustic pieces. Scatter them around the lamb in the slow cooker.
Step 7
Pour the chicken broth over the vegetables to keep them moist during cooking.
Step 8
Tuck the rosemary sprigs around the lamb. If needed, you can tear them into smaller pieces to fit.
Step 9
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, or until the lamb is extremely tender and easily shred with a fork.
Step 10
Once cooked, carefully remove the lamb from the slow cooker and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing or shredding.
Step 11
Serve the lamb with the slow-cooked vegetables and a spoonful of the cooking juices. Enjoy your Paleo-friendly meal!
