  1. I have to write this review by first telling you a story. I have always loved lamb. Anykind, anyway it is prepared. My husband hates it and always has. He told me never to fix it for him. Never. Well, I told him we were having a "crockpot" supper tonight, I didn't tell him what it was. I placed the plate in front of him, all sliced w/ gravy, it looked beautiful! He closed his eyes and took one bite. "This is the best roast I've ever tasted!" were his exact words!! It wasn't until he said it was so good, that I told him he was eating lamb. ;) Thanks to your recipe, Geema, I now will be able to serve my husband lamb roast and be able to enjoy it myself! I prepared your simple recipe as directed, making no changes. Delicious! Thank you so much, Geema for teaching my husband that indeed, he does like lamb!
     
  2. I used a small bone in leg roast for this delicious crockpot dish. Flavour was great, and the meat was very tender. A definite keeper and already printed and added to my collection.
     
  3. My wife also hates lamb, and her mother hates anything. They both ate it and loved it. Made again three days later for my mothers birthday and once again it was a hit. I ate it with my new wilted cabbage recipe and it was a perfect match!!!!!!!
     
  4. Another winner Geema- My lamb roast was quite small so the cooking time was a bit less -I removed all the fat from the roast. I made the whole recipe of the stock so had about 4 cups left over today I made soup from it - I added a bay leaf, a couple of leeks, two sliced carrots a stalk of celery and a diced potatoe great lunch.With the roast I served derf's Squash & Green bean recipe, fresh beets and roasted potatoes - there were no complaints and the lamb leg disappeared. Thanks Geema for another excellent recipe
     
  5. Geema, I'm a lamb lover and had to try this! I was not dissapointed! I used a 5 lb bone in cut, which was all my market had. I removed most of the fell (fatty white layer) before cooking, as I've heard that's what gives lamb that "gamey taste." The meat was meltingly tender, and the soy sauce and onion soup mix combo was a wonderful bonus taste wise! I used a large yellow onion, and after ten hours of slow cooking the onion slices simmering in the broth were awesome! Great recipe, one I will repeat often!

  1. I've made this dish about 4 times now, each time meaning to post a review to say it is FANSTASTIC. My husband and I never liked lamb (a cardinal sin, being Australians, but there you go!) but this we can eat and truly enjoy. The variations I made to the recipe were to bone, skin and remove all the fat from the leg of lamb and tie it into a roll, then brown the joint all over in a very hot non-stick pan to seal the meat before placing in the crock-pot, used Teriyaki sauce instead of Soy sauce, 1 clove of garlic instead of 2, and used a reduced-salt onion soup mix. The gravy makes a brilliant "sort-of-French-Onion-Soup" the next day, mopped up with crusty bread - yummy!

<p>Life often interupts our comfortable routines in very unexpected ways and in the past three years I've certainly faced some challenges.&nbsp; As a health nut who ate mostly vegetarian I was beyond shocked to discover that I was diabetic.&nbsp;<img title=Yell src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /> I shouted and rebelled and cried.&nbsp; But the good news is that I can control my glucose levels simply by eating very low carb.&nbsp; What a complete turn around it was to&nbsp;pass up&nbsp;all my high carb vegetarian foods like grains, and veggies and embrace meat!&nbsp;<img title=Surprised src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-surprised.gif border=0 alt=Surprised /> I've adjusted to this limited diet and thanks to Zaar can eat a nice variety of healthful meals.</p> <p>&nbsp;The next challenge was a freakish fall I took while in New York with my daughter that left me paralyzed and in much pain. I thank God that I am so much better today after more than two years recovery, with total mobility and just some minor pain in my arms and hands.&nbsp; Cooking and communicating here was not really on my priority list.&nbsp; But, I am back in action and ready to cook, take photos, and enjoy this wonderful community of friends.<img title=Laughing src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing /></p> <p>My husband and I continue to enjoy our grandchildren and being closely involved with their day to day activities.&nbsp; I am also the proud owner of a sweet grey and white cat who came to my door as a little kitten 6 months ago.&nbsp; Her name is Bonny and you can read her story here:&nbsp; <a href=http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg target=_blank>http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;When I have time for myself, I love to do all things artistic...drawing, pastels, paper craft, scrapbooking, and most recently jewelry making.&nbsp; I have set up a website on ETSY ( shown on this page by my website)and you can go there and see my creations.<img title=Cool src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-cool.gif border=0 alt=Cool /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><a href=http://photobucket.com target=_blank><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/houdini6.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /></a> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif alt= /></p>
