  • Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Place the leg in the slow cooker.
  • Squeeze the lemon over the lamb, and drop the lemon shells into the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Cook the lamb on Low for 8 - 10 hours or on High for 4 - 5 hours, or until the lamb easily pulls away from bone and can be shredded.

Notes

If you are short on time, prepare the lamb the previous evening. If you have room in the fridge, place it in the slow cooker's insert. Then all you have to do in the morning is drop the insert into the slow cooker and turn it on.
