Ingredients
Lamb with sage & prosciutto
- 1 large brown onion (200g), chopped coarsely
- 2 stalks celery (300g), trimmed, chopped coarsely
- 1 large carrot (180g), chopped coarsely
- 1/2 cup cup (125ml) dry red wine
- 1.5 kilogram lamb shoulder, bone in
- 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh sage leaves
- 4 clove garlic, sliced thinly

Method
Lamb with sage & prosciutto
- 1Place onion, celery, carrot and wine into a 4.5-litre (18-cup) slow cooker.
- 2Open out lamb and place on a board, fat-side down. Slice through the thickest part of lamb horizontally, without cutting all the way through. Open out the flap to form one large even piece; season, then scatter over sage and garlic.
- 3Roll lamb up to enclose seasoning. Wrap prosciutto around lamb, securing with kitchen string at 2cm (¾-inch) intervals. Transfer lamb to cooker. Cook, covered, on low, about 8 hours.
- 4Carefully remove lamb from cooker; cover to keep warm. Strain sauce into a medium saucepan. Discard solids.
- 5Bring to the boil over medium heat; boil, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until sauce has reduced to ¾ cup. Drizzle lamb with sauce.
