Ingredients
1kgshoulder of lamb
3tbspplain (all purpose) flour
½tspsalt
½tspfreshly ground black pepper
1tbspvegetable oil
300mllamb stock
Instructions
Put the 3 tbsp of flour, ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper in a dish or plate large enough to hold the lamb joint. Mix them together.
Place the lamb joint into the flour and roll until it is covered.
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in your sear and stew slow cooker pan on a high heat. If you have a crockery slow cooker, use a large frying pan. Add the lamb and sear each side until they are all golden brown. Remove the lamb and place on a plate at the side.
Turn down the heat and add the remaining flour to the oil in the pan. Mix with the oil and cook out the flour for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and slowly add the 300 ml (1¼ Cups) hot stock to the flour and oil paste stirring all the time.
Use a whisk to make sure all the stock is thoroughly mixed and there are not lumps in the gravy.
Return the lamb to the slow cooker pan with the gravy.
Cook on LOW for a minimum of 4 hours. Once done remove the meat to a serving plate to rest for 20 minutes covered with foil and a clean tea towel. Skim off any excess fats on top of the gravy and strain into a warmed gravy jug.
Serve cut into slices with roast potatoes, vegetables and mint jelly or sauce.
