Teach me how to cook this 2kg leg of lamb

I’d like it slow cooked so it falls off the bone, it won’t fit in my slow cooker. Where do I start ? Guests arriving for 2pm lunch tomorrow. Thank you!

Why do you want to slow cook a leg of lamb which is tender and doesn't need that style of cooking?

This recipe is perfect and very easy.

My MIL will only eat meat this way, I’m guessing leg not a good option for this?

I stud mine with garlic and rosemary, put on a bed of onions, drizzle with a little olive oil, salt pepper and chilli flakes. Put some red wine and boiling water in the bottom, keep topping this up so it doesn’t burn through the cooking process.
make a “tent” out of foil to cover the tin, so it’s loose. Cook for about 4 hours at 160 (fan oven) I take the foil off for the last 40 mins and bang up the heat to crisp the skin.
you can strain the juices to make the gravy.

Last lamb get I got was too big for the slow cooker so I boned it at the crack of 8am and put it in the slow cooker. It was so absolutely amazing.
