Slow Cooker Lamb & Plum Stew

I just got this recipe from a friend and as much as I hate lamb, she says that it's a must in this recipe... So, I'm going to give it a try...

5# Lamb (filet, shoulder, or leg) cut into 2" pieces
Coated with:
Salt, pepper & 1/2C- Flour

2T- Olive Oil- Saute lamb until brown on all sides and then put into slow cooker
in the same pan saute:
3 cloves- garlic, minced
1 large- onion, chopped
until golden and then add to the slow cooker
use a 1/2C- water to deglaze the pan and add it to the slow cooker

Add to the slow cooker:
4C- Beef Stock
2tea- sugar
3tea- B. sugar
3C- Carrots, diced
3C- Zucchini, diced
1 1/2C- Celery, diced
2lg- Onions, diced
3- potatoes, cubed
5C- dried plums
2tea- thyme
3tea- rosemary
2tea- basil
1tea- parsley
1C- Ginger Ale

on low for 12-14 hours.

I plan on getting some of my missing ingredients on Friday and trying it out--- will let you know how it turns out! :)

  1. Great recipe, but you need to halve the quantities of meat and vegetables for a 5 or 6-quart crock pot. Also, I would substitute powdered ginger for the ginger ale, since the ginger ale doesn't add much ginger flavor.
