Hi, I have a small boneless shoulder joint of lamb. Can anyone suggest the bast way to cook it in my slow cooker?

When I do lamb like this I plonk it in, coat the top liberally with mint sauce, and add a packet of oxo lamb and mint gravy (made up with only 1/2 pint of water so it's extra thick) around the bottom. I do rather like mint though! I cook mine on low all day.

In mine today I have stewing steak (£3 for packet but I've frozen half for another day) carrots, leek, chopped potato and mushrooms with beef gravy. I've also added flour to thicken it, and a bit of garlic. The beef I've left as whole pieces as they will fall apart when cooked anyway.

Will serve with either rice or jacket spuds - haven't decided yet!

Trow - thanks for that idea! I have a rather large slow cooker, only used for entertaining the masses, but now realise I can do smaller portions that way. Cooking potatoes in the water around makes the meal complete...... can't wait to try it out :-)

I'm doing vegetable soup in mine today, not been shopping yet so vegetable soup is about all I can manage! I got a slow cooker recipe book a few days ago so am going to have a look in there and write my shopping list out ready for asda later.

I haven't done soup in the SC before - do you find that you have to put it in the food processor after or is it ok if you cut the pieces up fairly small?
