Indulge in the tender perfection of our beautiful slow cooked leg of lamb The deep flavour is achieved by simply slow cooking the cut for four to five hours, until the lamb is tender and falling off the bone. Complete your feast by serving up this slow cooked leg of lamb with a side of seasonal root vegetables, baked sweet potatoes or coleslaw. We like ours steamed with cumin seed for a nutty kick, or roasted with a cinnamon glaze for a hint of sweetness.
