Slow Cooker Herb Garlic Lamb Roast

This is the time of year to make a nice slow cooker herb garlic lamb roast. Easy to make and the perfect way to celebrate the holidays with loved ones.

I must confess I’m not a huge lover of lamb. I love lamb that is cooked on a spit but not chewy lamb chops. That is why I make lamb roasts in a slow cooker. It reminds me of how my grandma used to make roasts. She would stud them with garlic and herbs and cook them all day until they are tender. So that is what this slow cooker herb garlic lamb roast is all about. It’s studded with garlic and rubbed with herbs and cook all day until tender and delicious. 

 I like to make pork roasts like this too. I have a garlicky pork roast that we eat all the time. It’s cheaper to make and we use it for burritos, tacos and quesadillas. However pork is not lamb. Lamb is something special and reminds me of special occasions. So when I saw that Aldi has lamb roasts I had to try it. 

It’s very easy to make as I state above. I took 5 cloves of garlic and sliced them thinly. Then I cut little holes all over the roast and stuffed the garlic slivers in it. Lastly I made a paste of the herbs and spices and olive oil and rubbed it all over the lamb. You can add any kind of vegetables you like to your slow cooker and then just rest the roast on top. Cook it all day for a tender and flavorful roast dinner. Easy right?
