Slow cooked lamb - timing?

[Speckledeggy]

I'm going to do this recipe today with a boneless leg of lamb (800g):-

Can anyone tell me how long to cook it for?!

No idea but am off to BBC Good food to check!! Your link didn't work (smile) I have a similar piece of lamb in the freezer and got a new slow cooker for Christmas so am dying to try it out!

Is it this recipe?

Your link didn't work and neither did my !!!

Hi Oxo

Your link did work. Yes, that is the one I'm referring to!

Even though the lamb joint you have is smaller than the one in the recipe, I would still cook it for around the same time on a very low heat. Sounds yummy!

Thanks Oxo

Think I'll pull it out at 3hrs and give it a prod. Will let you know if it's a success.

Thanks :)

Just marking my place as I'm really interested to see how you get on. The recipe looks fab and I want to use my slow cooker more this year. Hope it goes well!!

Actually, I misread the thread title - this is not for slow cooked lamb in the slow cooker although such recipes do exist! This one is for the oven but sounds delicious!

Oh bugger - do you think you could do it in the slow cooker? I think I would try this recipe regardless - it just sounds so easy and tasty!!

You can do it in the slow cooker, but it will be a lower temperature than the oven and require at least six hours of cooking.

Thanks, Mary - will prob give that a try!!

T'was fab at 3 hours - a great success!

Will buy the right size next time...

oh good
