How to Make Agnello Al Forno

1. Peel and chop 2 large onions, 4 cloves garlic, and 2 lbs potatoes into 1-inch chunks.
2. Layer the onions, garlic, and potatoes in the bottom of your slow cooker.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Add 2 lbs boneless leg of lamb, cut into 2-inch cubes, and brown on all sides. This will take about 5-7 minutes per side.
5. Transfer the browned lamb to the slow cooker.
6. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and repeat steps 3 and 4 with the remaining 2 lbs of lamb.
7. Add 2 tablespoons of dried Italian herbs (or a mix of rosemary, thyme, and oregano) to the slow cooker along with 1 teaspoon black pepper.
8. Season generously with salt to taste.
9. Top the lamb and vegetables with 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes and dot with 2 tablespoons of butter.
10. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the lamb is incredibly tender and easily shreds with a fork.
11. One hour before serving, sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of dried Italian herbs over the lamb and vegetables.
12. Serve the Agnello al Forno hot over a bed of rice or your favorite pasta, and garnish with a fresh green salad.
