    Tried this but the recipe doesn't work. Left it in the slow cooker for much longer than the 6 hours advised but there is not enough liquid to cook potatoes and tomatoes. Rather disappointed. Think Kerry (above) is right to ask if stock is required.

    Hi, no stock is required. If it didn't work then think the slow cookers you have isn't very good. I do this recipe once a week as it is my partners favourite and the juice from the tomatoes and meat juice is sufficient stock :)

    I did this for some friends who came over for dinner. Massive success first time trying it and worked a treat. I doubled the quantity of Lamb as there were more of us. Delish and made me very popular with my husband he loved it!!!

    This recipe needs more ffeta and lemon. Other recipes for kleftiko contain cinammon, so I think I might stick some of that in next time too. It was nice, but needed a bit of a boost.

    Absolutely delicious! I didn't need to add any stock - the juice from lemon and lamb was more than enough. I added a tsp of cinnamon which worked well and I also added the squeezed out lemon halves for about four hours then removed them- it added a bit of extra lemon zing. Will definitely use this recipe again! Thank you!!

    I forgot to mention I used a leg of lamb on the bone and removed the meat from the bone when it was falling apart and melt in the mouth perfect!

    I haven't got a slow cooker but risked it in a cast iron casserole and put moistened grease proof paper over the ingredients to stop loss of moisture during cooking and put lid on,went in a very low oven (120c) for about 5 hours and turned out a treat. Thanks for sharing.
