INGREDIENTS

Made with

Savoury Tomatoes

Ripened on the vine under the Hawke's Bay sun, Wattie's Savoury Tomatoes are blended with onion, celery and capsicum to provide a great base for many Kiwi favourites.

Method

Step 1

Heat the slow cooker on low. Place prepared onions, carrot and parsnip into the base of the slow cooker.

Step 2

Heat a dash of oil in a frying pan and brown the lamb over a high heat. Transfer to the slow cooker and place on top of the vegetables, fat side up. Make small incisions in the lamb and stud with garlic.

Step 3

Pour over Wattie's Savoury Tomatoes. Add rosemary. Cover. Cook on low for 8 - 10 hours until meat is tender.

Step 4

Remove the cooked lamb from the slow cooker. Shred and place on a serving dish with the cooked vegetables around it. Serve with the tomato sauce. Season to taste. Serve lamb with the vegetables, accompanied with Mediterranean Basil Pesto Chunky Dip if wished.
