I am now 34 weeks pregnant with our second babe, and my pregnancy meal prep has begun! This slow cooked lamb shoulder recipe is one of my all time favourites, and so ridiculously easy to make. Slow cooked lamb shoulder is always a hit in our family (and with our friends), and a large shoulder will feed you for days – bonus!
Ingredients:
- One large grass fed lamb shoulder (your preference for bone in or out)
- 5 cloves chemical free garlic
- Roughly 1 tablespoon of sweet paprika powder
- 2 tablespoons of caramelised balsamic vinegar
- 1-2 sprigs of fresh thyme or rosemary (or 1 teaspoon if using dried herbs)
- Sea salt and pepper
Method:
- Sear both sides of lamb shoulder on a BBQ until it starts to char
- Pop it into a slow cooker with remaining ingredients on high for 5-6 hours (or until falling apart, times may vary depending on weight of shoulder and type of slow cooker so just keep an eye on it)
- Serve with warm herby potato salad, or some delicious roast vegetables!
Some delicious leftover meal suggestions are:
- Lamb Pizza – Who doesn’t love a Friday night homemade pizza loaded with the weeks leftovers? My fave topping suggestions with the lamb include olives, goat feta, caramelised balsamic onions, and thinly sliced potato
- Lamb Ragu – I have a delicious recipe for lamb ragu in my e-book. It is super easy to throw together and serve with some yummy pasta
- Lamb Wraps – Make a quick little tzatziki and add to a healthy crap free pita bread or wrap with some warmed leftover lamb, red onion, lettuce, tomato and feta. Serve it fresh or toasted – so yum!
- One Pan Lamb Breakfast – Reheat some lamb and potatoes in a fry pan, add a couple of eggs into the side, and serve with some fresh herbs and quality sourdough lathered in butter. So sustaining for your day ahead
I hope you enjoy xx
