The ingredients needed to make Kleftico (in a slow cooker):

  1. Prepare 2 Kg Leg of mutton or Shoulder of Lamb

  3. Get Lots of garlic

Steps to make Kleftico (in a slow cooker):

  1. First pre heat the slow cooker. Then cut the mutton into 4 or 5 big chunks and brown in a thick pan. Make sure there is bit of fat on the meat. Without some fat it wont be nice.
  2. When the meat is nice and brown add chopped garlic onion tomato and pesto and bring to the boil
  3. Put 4 or 5 sprigs of Rosemary into a pre heated slow cooker
  4. Then pour the meat and liquid on top. This way the Rosemary infuses lots of flavour into the meat as it cooks.
  5. Cook on low for HOURS. I did mine for 6 hours but longer is OK too
  6. At the end of the cooking time I had far too much liquid so I returned it to the pot and reduced the liquid on a high heat.
  7. I served with a potato & veg crush. You could do rice or roast spuds too if you want.

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and then rub over your lamb shoulder. Season liberally with salt and pepper, transfer to a suitable lidded container and leave to marinate in the fridge overnight. After this time, check the consistency of the juices. Healthy: Slow cookers typically create healthier meals. This is because they rarely require oils or fats in the cooking process.
