Slow cooker tangerine, leek and harissa lamb

On this cold grey Covid lockdown weekend I thought I would slow cook some spicy lamb with a Christmas feel to it.

I've used half a leg of lamb from Morison's and vegetables from our local stalls.

The leeks and the tangerine are used to keep the lamb off the hot base of the slow cooker and to flavour the meat. They will be discarded at the end of the cooking process.

Serving suggestions

Pull the cooked lamb off the bone, serve with vegetables of your choice and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.

Variations

I checked the temperature of our slow cooker on low setting with a digital thermometer and it reads around 100°C [225°F] so if you don't have a slow cooker you could use a casserole dish in an oven set to 100° C (225° F - gas ¼), [fan oven 80° C & reduce cooking time by 10 mins per hour].
