Red wine sauce is another brilliant partner, which does the same balancing job through the acidity and deep fruity notes, red wine is known for. Roast lamb is delicious with mint sauce as it balances out the rich flavour of the meat and adds a boost of freshness. While this is a classic combo, mint sauce is not the only good pairing. Finally, don’t skip adding bay leaves. They are my secret weapon when it comes to soups and stews. However, make sure your bay leaves are still fragrant. If not, replace them asap!

Red Wine Lamb Sauce This slow cooker recipe, which requires as little effort as possible, is the perfect solution for my dilemma and for the rest of you! Even better when you can delegate someone else to be in charge of the Sunday dinner.There are two ways to cook lamb and both are brilliant. The one is when a leg of lamb is roasted at high temperature until it’s just pink inside, which is pretty similar to roasting a good quality beef joint. You can also roast it low and slow until it’s tender and juicy and practically falling apart. I love the results of this method so much, especially in the winter. To me it’s the epitome of comfort food. This tender and succulent lamb with red wine sauce is the most elegant dinner you can make in your slow cooker. Easy, convenient and so delicious. I also added the famous veg trio of onion, carrot and garlic for a mix of sweet and savoury flavours. They truly enrich the taste of the red wine sauce.

The dish can be enjoyed with mashed potatoes, or rice or some crusty bread or simply salad. The key to the dish is to use a good quality wine for the best taste and flavor. Needless to say, you can always use beef joint instead of lamb if that is your preference. Any inexpensive tough cuts like brisket or shin of beef will be brilliant when cooked in a slow cooker. After following along till step 5, layer everything in an ovenproof dish, and bake for 30 minutes in a 375 F preheated oven. The best thing is you don’t need to lift a finger to make this sauce. Your slow cooker does all the heavy lifting. First of all, brown the meat for deeper, richer taste before slow cooking it. I used half leg of lamb but you can also use lamb shoulder.
