Ingredients

1. 4 cloves garlic, crushed
2. 2 tablespoons olive oil
3. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
4. 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, crushed
5. Kosher salt and black pepper
6. 1 2 1/2-pound boneless lamb shoulder roast
7. 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
8. 1 bunch spinach, stemmed and roughly chopped
9. plain yogurt, for serving

Directions

1. Combine the garlic, oil, rosemary, cumin, and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the lamb and place in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker along with 1/4 cup water. Cook, covered, until the lamb is tender, on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours.
