Slow Cooked Pulled Lamb with White Wine & Root Vegetables

Slow Cooked Pulled Lamb with White Wine & Root Vegetables - Fab Food 4 All

One of our favourite dishes is lamb shanks which I have never made at home but really ought to! With this in mind my husband suggested that rather than roasting the leg of lamb we had, why didn’t I slow cook it to replicate the lamb shanks we both love.

So this is how Slow Cooked Pulled Lamb with White Wine & Root Vegetables came to be. As I’m getting to know and feel a lot more comfortable with my slow cooker I had a rummage around and found a little bottle of Prosecco that Sainsburys had kindly sent me and decided that that would give a lovely flavour to the dish.

I also had a butternut squash, carrots, parsnips and onion which would add a lovely sweetness and be a good accompaniment to the lamb. If I’d had some fresh rosemary I would have stuck some fronds into the lamb but I just had some dried so sprinkled that on instead!

I used to have a lovely big rosemary bush in my old house but since moving to our current one the Wisley Beetle just decimates any rosemary I try to grow so I’ve had to give up!

Anyway, I can’t tell you how delicious and succulent the lamb was. Even my daughter who is quite finicky about eating meat had seconds! With the cooking liquor I made gravy and for extra lushness you could melt in some redcurrant jelly which I will definitely do next time.

I added some extra roasted parsnips, peas and crispy coated roast potatoes to go alongside the vegetables that had been cooked with the lamb. I think it’s fair to say we were all in culinary heaven eating this dish. I can’t drink wine due to allergies but I shan’t complain if anyone wants to give us a bottle as this slow cooked lamb is divine!

    I wonder if I could use red wine? White wine always gives me a bad stomach? Though if it is used as a cooking ingredient then it may not hurt my stomach? Mmmmm – does sound lovely and I am tempted!

      I’m allergic to wine so I think it would change once cooked. The white wine worked really well as it was so light but I’m sure you could use red wine if you wanted to but it would be heavier in flavour.

    I made this recipe yesterday. (The lamb was on offer at Sainsbury’s). My lamb didn’t pull apart quite like yours. I should have left it cooking for another hour or two but the kids were hungry! Served it with baked potatoes. Thanks for this delicious, easy recipe.

    I love the use of the prosecco to add flavor to the lamb – it sounds wonderful and so much tastier than using a red. Especially with the combination of root veggies. And using the slow-cooker is a perfect option for those busy days when you just want to come home to a hot meal…

    This ‘Slow Cooked Pulled Lamb with White Wine & Root Vegetables’ sounds utterly delicious and a really innovative dish – – very good!

    The use of slow cooking makes the Lamb more succulent and a wonderful meal for the weekend, with a nice glass of wine it is a hearty dish!

    Your inspired dish reminds me of when i replicated a dish with success…from ‘M&S’.

    It was a Vegetable Penne –
    basically Penne pasta with brocolli florets, petit pois, runner beans, pumpkin seads (bought in a small packet), some goats cheese and the juice of a lemon on top!

    It was a really nice healthy pasta meal which i also added pieces of cold chicken on top! I love M&S food and so to be able to replicate one of their meals without having to buy it made-up from a packet was very satisfying.

    I will be adding your recipe above to my cookbook.
