Slow Cooker Lamb Pot Roast

Slow Cooker Lamb Pot Roast is a one pot, no effort meal that’s easily thrown together in the morning before work or busy day ahead. It cooks completely hands-off in the slow cooker and makes a beautiful and tasty meat stock too.

Slow cooking makes the lamb super tender and just fall off the bone, making it easy to digest and great for those on a gut healing journey.

Slow Cooker Lamb Pot Roast is the perfect answer to an easy mid-week meal. Just add some simple sides and dinner is done.

For a budget friendly alternative, try swapping the leg or shoulder roast for lamb necks.

Slow cooker tips

• Start with fresh or thawed meat, not frozen.
• Fill cooker to no more than two-thirds full.
• Each time you lift the lid, you add 15 minutes to the cooking process. Leave lid on and shut tight.
• Sear meat before adding to pot. This will boost the flavour! (GAPS stage XXX)
• Whenever possible, sprinkle fresh herbs on top!
• Set your timer and temperature for what is most appropriate for the cut of meat you are cooking. Cook fattier meats low and slow.

If you love a roast lamb, then you will love this slow-cooked version. The trick is using fresh rosemary and garlic. Just pop the ingredients into the slow cooker and you have a delicious meal that the whole family will love.

How to make Slow Cooker Lamb Pot Roast

Step 1: Thinly slice the onions and place at the bottom of the slow cooker along with the garlic and rosemary.

Step 2: Sit the lamb roast on top of the onions. Season with salt and pepper.

If you are on GAPS Intro Diet you may want to add pepper corns to a tea strainer so that can be removed at the end of the cooking time.

Step 3: Add the filtered water around the roast to at least cover to onions. You may wish to add more depending on how much meat stock you wish to make during the cooking process.

Step 4: cook on low for 8 hours or until lamb is tender.

How to serve

• Remove roast and slide meat and serve on plate with a side of vegetables and ferments, and a mug of the lamb stock.
• Remove roast, shred meat and return to the pot. Add a few vegetables (peas or green beans) and cook for 30 minutes. Serve in a bowl.
