Slow-Cooker Shredded Pastured Lamb

Marinate your lamb!

Pastured lamb is lean and full-flavored — a marinade seasons it through, adds moisture, and its acid gently tenderizes the meat while mellowing lamb's natural richness. It makes an especially big difference before grilling chops, steaks, or kebabs.
