Slow-Cooker Boneless Leg of Lamb
The easiest recipe for busy parents - just dump and go! It makes the lamb juicy and tender, perfect for shredding to serve to your baby (and the whole family!).
Equipment
- 1 crockpot
Ingredients
- 1 boneless leg of lamb
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
- 6 cloves garlic
- 2 onions (roughly chopped)
- 2 tsp dry oregano
- 2 tsp dry rosemary
- 2 tsp dry thyme
- 2-4 cups low-sodium beef broth (enough to cover everything)
Instructions
- Place the leg of lamb in the slow cooker. Do not trim the fat before cooking, keeping the fat on helps ensure the meat turns out moist enough for baby to eat safely. You can always remove any excess once it's done cooking.
- Add the spices and herbs, garlic, and onion to the crock pot. Pour the beef broth on top, ensuring that everything is covered with broth.
- Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 5-6 hours.
- Once cooked, remove from the slow cooker and shred before serving to baby. Offer the meat in finger-length strips with a bit of the broth from the slow cooker on top to keep it moist and juicy!

Notes
Don't worry too much about adding some salt to this recipe. For something like this that is being made for the whole family, it's ok to add a bit of salt knowing that baby is only getting a portion of it and that you're cutting salt by choosing a low-sodium beef broth as well.
