I wouldn't buy a leg of lamb for roasting fom Aldi full stop. There meat is cheap for a reason. Cheaper cuts, fine. Braising, casseroling and stewing were developed to be used for poorer quality meat and lower grade cuts.
If I want a joint - and I rarely do, I would go to a good butcher or farmshop.
I cooked a gammon from one of our local farm shops in a slow cooker at Christmas. I put it on the lowest heat and let is cook for 24 hours. I cooked it in red wine and it fell apart like pulled pork and was so delicious we nearly didn't bother to cook the turkey.
Is it normal to talk to yourself?
