Crock Pot Leg of Lamb

One of the most surprising things about living in Warsaw is their lack of lamb available. It was especially hard for my husband who had just come from working in the middle east and pretty much the only thing they eat there is lamb! So if we want to have lamb for dinner - it has to be a special occasion AND it has to be delicious since we are paying so much for it.

This week my husband asked to have it - and since we haven't had it in about 4 months I agreed to make it. I was scheduled to make it today - but last night was the International Womens Group of Warsaw's end of the year cocktail party.

Yeah - I really don't feel like cooking today.

So I looked up recipes for "crock pot Leg of Lamb". I was sure that there had to be a way to cook this type of meat in the crock pot. Of course, there is. I found a slew of recipes, but none of them really caught my attention until I found this one. I adjusted it a little bit, and came up with a pretty amazing recipe. So here you guys go! Let me know how it turns out for you!
