Ingredients

1 bone-in leg of lamb (about 1.4 kg)
120 ml red wine
1 lemon, juiced
30 g raw honey
30 g Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced
15 ml apple cider vinegar
15 ml dried rosemary
5 g dried thyme
5 g sea salt
2.5 g fresh cracked pepper

Directions

Step 1
Pour the red wine into the slow cooker. In a medium bowl, mix together the lemon juice, honey, mustard, garlic, vinegar, rosemary, thyme, sea salt, and pepper to form a paste. Rub the paste all over the lamb, then place the lamb in the slow cooker.
Step 2
Cook on Low for 5 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted near the bone reads 65°C. Let the lamb rest for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
