This is a version of Barbecued Harissa lamb for slow cooking. It produces a far superior result to barbecuing, but does take a little longer.

Made with a defrosted frozen half-leg of lamb, this lasted 2 people for 2 days - I used the same marinade ingredients as for 6 people, but with slightly less harissa paste.
