Equipment

1 3.5l Slow cooker Use a 6.5l for a bigger family
1 Slow cooker liner optional

Ingredients

2 lamb steaks
1 carrot chopped
1 onion chopped
1 beef or vegetable stock pot
1 vegetable stock cube
300 ml boiling water
1 teaspoon dried mint
200 g potatoes diced

Instructions

Chop the potato, onion and carrots.
1 carrot, 1 onion, 200 g potatoes
Line the slow cooker with a liner (if using) and then put the chopped vegetables in.
Sprinkle the dried mint to lightly cover the lamb. Season with a bit of salt and pepper at this point if you wish and then place these on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker.
2 lamb steaks, 1 tsp dried mint
Boil the water and mix together in a jug with the stock cube and stock pot. Pour this into the pot (take care not to wash off the dried mint).
1 beef or vegetable stock pot, 1 vegetable stock cube, 300 ml boiling water
Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours until the potatoes are cooked and the lamb is tender.

Notes

The slow cooker can be set to high for only 4 hours cooking time for a faster meal. However if time allows I would recommend a low and slow cooking approach for this meat for added tenderisation.

If the stock seems to be too much liquid and is too runny, put in 2 tablespoons of corn flour to help thicken it up around 1 hour before the time is scheduled to end.

You can keep this set to 'Warm' on the slow cooker for up to four hours.
