Rosemary-tied lamb shoulder

Dinner

Serves: 4 - 6

Cooking Time: 2 hrs 40 mins

Ingredients

8 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 garlic cloves
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
60 ml (¼ cup) olive oil
1,6 kg lamb shoulder, bone in

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Remove the leaves from 4 of the rosemary stalks and place in a mortar and pestle with the garlic, salt and pepper. Pound until lightly crushed. Add the olive oil and pound until combined.

Rub some of the oil over the lamb shoulder, top with the remaining rosemary sprigs and secure the shank with string. Place on a rack in a baking dish and roast for 30 minutes.

Reduce the temperature to 160°C. Turn the lamb fat-side down and roast for 1 hour.

Turn the lamb again and roast for a further 1 hour or until the meat shreds easily off the bone. Serve with the remaining rosemary oil.
