Serving Size: 10
Prep Time:
Cook Time: 7 hours

Ingredients

2 1/4 pounds boneless leg of lamb, trimmed of fat
1 medium onion, cut in 1/4-inch pieces
1 cup all-natural barbecue sauce
1 large carrot, peeled and shredded (1 cup)
1 cup pitted prunes
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 large cucumber
2/3 cup 0% fat plain greek yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

20 whole wheat slider buns, lightly toasted

Instructions

1. Add the lamb, onion, barbecue sauce, carrots, prunes, vinegar, and salt to a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker, and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low until the lamb is tender, 7 hours.

2. While the lamb is cooking, peel the cucumber, slice in half lengthwise, and remove seeds with a spoon. Cut into ¼-inch pieces.

3. In a bowl, combine the cucumber, yogurt, dill, and salt and pepper to taste and set aside in the refrigerator.

4. When the meat is done, use two forks to pull the mixture into shredded pieces. Divide the lamb evenly between the slider buns and serve with cucumber topping.
