- Everyone but everyone is doing pulled pork which in itself is a delicious dish but I like to jazz my food up and do my own thing.
I have created this recipe as part of the Red Tractor Challenge as mentioned previously , the lamb I used came form Aldi.
- "Aldi are committed to sourcing a wide range of Red Tractor assured food for their customers with 45 % of it's products stocked from British suppliers. Aldi has a great range of 100 % British Lamb allowing shoppers to serve up only only the best to their close friends and family. Aldi is one of the only Uk retailers to offer a 100 % British Red Tractor Lamb range all year round"
- Ingredients
Preperation time : 15 minutes
Cooking time a good 8 hours on high
- Pulled Lamb
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- A leg of lamb ( that will fit in a slow cooker !)
300 ml of vegetable stock
2 sliced onions
Redcurrant Mint Dip
- 250g natural yogurt
- 2 dessert spoons of refs currant jelly that had port in it
- small handful mint leaves, chopped
- Pitta bread sliced in half
- Iceberg lettuce washed and shredded
Put the garlic, cinnamon, cumin, oregano and lemon in a blender with 1 tsp salt and 2 tsp black pepper in bowl and use a hand blender to roughly chop or put in a blender if you want it smoother.
Place the lamb in the slow cooker it may take a bit of jiggling.
Scatter the onions around the lamb.
Make up around 300 ml of stock ( a vegetable one if a good base )
Mix with the garlic , common etc mixture and that add to the lamb in the slow cooker.
Once the lamb has cooked in the slow cooker after a good 8 hours removed it from the slow cooker leaving the gravy etc behind. You can always turn that into soup if you wish,
Shred the lamb as you would when doing pulled pork and then serve in pitta breads also side the recurrent mint dip
For the dip mix the yogurt , chopped mint leaves and recurrent together and chill to you are ready to use it.

This sounds amazing. I do love pulled pork but would never have thought about doing it with lamb. Well done you for trying something different!
ReplyDeleteOMG - I'm totally making this at the next given opportunity! It looks and sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks delicious. It looks fairly simple to make so I will be giving this a try. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWe do a half shoulder of lamb in the slow cooker as that usually fits but we are seriously considering buying a larger slow cooker so that we can do larger cuts of meat as it is such a delicious way to cook the meat. Love your addition of the yoghurt x
ReplyDeleteOh, yes please! This looks amazing! Can't wait to try it. Love a bit of lamb! I just did slow cooked morroccan lamb with pomegranate, coriander and mint and lemon and pomegranate couscous. Delicious and went down a storm!
ReplyDeleteyes lamb with pomegranate is delicious x

ReplyDeleteOh my word Claire that looks absolutely amazing! It's making me super hungry too having just had a pie for dinner (not a home cooked one I might add!). Bet it tasted delicious )
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful! I am very fussy with meat but I recently tried pulled pork and loved it. I like crispy duck too so I know I like the style, and I love lamb when it's not to fatty :-)
