How to Cook Slow Cooked Lamb with Maple Syrup
- This is so easy to make, it deserves a medal!!! Peel and roughly chop the onions. Peel and chop the carrots into three or four pieces. Place the chopped onion in a Dutch oven or large casserole dish (big enough to accommodate your joint). Wash the lamb then pat dry with kitchen paper. Place it on top of the onions. Spread the carrots around the joint and sprinkle the chestnut pieces over the top.
- Place two large sprigs of fresh rosemary down the sides of casserole or pot and pour the maple syrup all over the meat. Add the water and place a lid on the pot. Cook in a preheated cool oven (Mk 2 - 300ºF - 150ºC) for 2 hours.
- After 2 hours turn the oven up to hot (Mk 7 - 425ºF - 220ºC) and cook for a further one hour. Remove from the oven and crumble two beef stock cubes into the pot. Stir well to mix. Mix the cornflour with about 3-4 tablespoons of warm water, add to the pot and stir again (this will help thicken the 'gravy' in the pan). Return the pot to the hot oven and cook for a further one hour (or until you can twist a fork in the joint and the meat comes away easily).
- There's no way you want to take a carving knife to this joint. The meat is so tender that you simply need to take the lamb to the table and pull the meat away with a fork and a spoon as you serve it. Just provide a dish of Creamed Potatoes or Irish Style Champ to soak up the gravy!

Check the liquid levels a couple of times during cooking to make sure it's not getting low.

Reviews of Slow Cooked Lamb with Maple Syrup
![]() This has become a firm family favourite since first making this two years ago. I normally use one third water and the rest lamb stock. Last year I tried using Golden Syrup instead of Maple syrup, but was just a bit too sweet. Everybody has said it tastes better using maple Syrup. This is always a hit with my guests, I always use a good leg of lamb.. When the lamb is cooked I take it out and let it rest then take it off the bone, shred it and add it back to the pan and let my guests help themselves. I serve it with roast potatoes and seasonal veg, fabulous! Anniepie29 (2 reviews) |
![]() I made this for a family get-together and it was absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe "almost", except that I used two crock pots (was making food for 16 people.... I did a shoulder in one pot and a leg in the other), making it on Saturday and then reheating on Sunday. It cooked in the crock pot for almost six hours and the meat was falling off the bone tender. Overnight, I had all of the meat stored in one container and the juice in another. The next day, all of the fat had congealed at the top, so I was able to get rid of all that fat! I set aside about 1/3 of the juice/onions, and put the meat and remaining juices back in one crock pot to reheat for the meal. Using a juicer/blender, I blended the set aside juice and onions and poured this over all that was in the crock pot. It got very high reviews from the guests!! Well done for a truly great recipe. terri86 (3 reviews) |

The smoke, the sizzle, the aroma, yeah - it's time for BBQ but don't buy scrappy steaks if you want to eat like a king.
