Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 5 cups water
• 1 large sweet onion, sliced
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 (4 pound) leg of lamb
• 0.5 cup soy sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb and cook until outside is browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and add onion to the oil in the skillet. Saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Place onion in the bottom of a slow cooker pot and place the lamb roast on top. Mix water, soy sauce, garlic, and onion soup mix together and pour over the roast. Cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours.

Step 3

Remove roast, cover lightly with foil, and let rest for 20 minutes before carving. Mix butter and flour into a paste. Add small pieces of this paste to the hot cooking liquid, mixing well to incorporate. Cook until sauce reaches desired thickness, 5 to 6 minutes.

Step 4

Slice roast thinly and serve with gravy.
