Slow Cooker Lamb

Greek food is one of my favorite cuisines.  Back home in Chicago, it is readily available, but I haven't found a place I like yet here.  That leaves me to make it on my own.  Lamb is probably my favorite meat in terms of flavor so when one of my friends asked if I wanted to cook a lamb leg with him, I jumped at the chance.  We cut the leg in half and he made a delicious roast out of his half while braised mine.  The recipe that I used is one that I modified from a Greek cookbook my family has had for years.  The recipe calls for lamb shanks but a lamb leg works as well.  The recipe is better, however, with a bone-in cut since the bone adds to the stockiness as it cooks in the slow cooker.  I generally serve this dish over orzo, but my friend made homemade whole wheat bread that also went very well with the dish and was a great way of getting all that wonderful sauce.
