This is a great recipe to batch cook and then freeze in individual portions in a freezer proof lidded Tupperware dishe. You can even cook the dish in individual oven proof ramekins and then freeze them in the ramekin dishes once cooled. Then we can have it for a few days for lunch or freeze it for another day. But I am sure you’re wondering what you should serve with your scotch broth.

Remove the carrots; these can be served with the roast lamb dinner. Stain the onions and garlic through a sieve into a pan, ready to create the gravy. Lots of people (not everyone) just doesn’t see the health benefits of having lamb bone broth in their diets, or how wonderful it feels to make use out your leftover lamb bones. You can use either raw, meatier bones or already roasted ones, leftover from making a roast. Either shoulder or leg bones, actually, any kind of bones you have are ok for this recipe. In preparation of making lamb broth, save all your lamb bones (raw or roasted bones) from various recipes and store them in a plastic bag in the freezer until you have accumulated enough to make this bone broth recipe. Allow plenty of time before you start slow cooking lamb, as the only way to soft, tender fall off the bone meat, as shown in this blog post, is by cooking at low heat, on low temperature setting. Leg of Lamb SizeI recommend always using a fresh leg of lamb for this recipe. If using a frozen leg of lamb, always defrost thoroughly before starting to slow cook. How much roast lamb per person? Heat the olive oil and fry the lamb off cuts until well browned all over, then remove them from the pot.

But I think 4-5 hours will give a result that will carve nicely but maybe not fall apart so easily. I will update you when tested. The chump end is the more tender of the two and a better shape for the slow cooker pot. You could even fit two chump ends in next to each other. Half Leg of Lamb - Shank End Shank EndI don't advise on high temperature settings as I have not tried it yet, and everything on our blog is always tested first!

Always add the salt after the broth starts to simmer. Adding salt to the cold water will prolong the time needed for the water to start to simmer.

Adding a small amount of liquid when roasting lamb in the slow cooker helps produce steam to prevent the meat from drying out and also creates a lovely gravy to serve with your roast lamb dinner. We have been asked a lot of questions about instant pot scotch broth and could go on forever answering them all. What does scotch broth taste like? Scotch broth is like a vegetable and lentil soup. It is very tasty and has that old school flavour to it, like a delicious soup that your grandma made. It is very hearty, so doesn’t taste like a diet soup.
