Number Of Ingredients 12

1.8kg / 3.5 lb lamb shoulder (bone in) ((Note 1))
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 onion, quartered ((no need to peel))
1 head garlic (, cut in half horizontally)
3 garlic cloves (, cut into slivers)
8 sprigs rosemary
1 cup water
2 tbsp flour
2 cups beef broth ((or 1 cup red wine + 1 cup water))
Salt and pepper

Steps:

Preheat oven to 240°C/465°F (220°C fan forced).
Rub the lamb with the olive oil, salt and pepper.
Use a thin, sharp knife to make 12 incisions in the lamb, deep as you can but without piercing through the bottom of the lamb. (See photo in post and video
Stuff bits of rosemary and garlic slivers into the holes (chopstick helpful!)
Place the onion, halved garlic bulb and rosemary in the base of a roasting pan. Place the lamb on top. Pour water around.
Cover with lid or tightly with a double layer of foil. Place in the oven, and TURN DOWN to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan).
Slow roast, covered: Roast, covered with the foil, for 3 hours. (Note 1 for different sizes).
Brown it, uncovered: Remove foil, check to ensure there's still liquid in the pan. If not, add 3/4 cup water (otherwise onion/garlic will burn). Turn up the oven to 220°C/425°F and roast for a further 20 to 30 minutes, until the skin is browned and crisp.
Check if ready: By now, you should be able to part the meat with two forks - if not, just cover and return to oven at 180°C/350°F (160°C fan) until you can do so.
Rest: Remove lamb from the roasting pan and transfer to a plate. Cover loosely with foil then a couple of tea towels and let it rest for at least 20 minutes, up to a couple of hours (after this, you may want to reheat).
Serve with gravy (below). If you want to go all out, make Duck Fat Potatoes or Super Crispy Roasted Potatoes!

Slow cooked Lamb Shoulder Weber Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-179671

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients:
Serves 6-8. Prep time: 20 mins. Cooking time: 9 hours (plus marinating time).
2 kilo (approxinately 4.5 pounds) lamb shoulder, bone-in.
Spice rub:
3 whole dried bay leaves
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried wild oregano (available at Greek and European deli's, please use this rather than ordinary dried oregano as the flavour is superior)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
salt to taste
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons macadamia oil *
drizzle of olive oil at the end of cooking time

Steps:

Method: 1. Wash the lamb shoulder and pat dry with kitchen towel. Make deep slashes about one inch in several areas over the joint so that you can rub the marinade into the meat. Place the lamb into a non-reactive casserole, ideally an enamelled cast iron pan. 2. In a spice grinder, grind the bay leaves, garlic powder, wild oregano, thyme, fennel seeds and black peppercorns until everything is a fine powder. Combine this with the red wine vinegar and macadamia oil. 3. Salt the lamb well, then pour the marinade over the meat, making sure you rub the marinade into the slashes. Cover the casserole in a sheet of foil, then place the lid over it tightly. 4. Leave the lamb shoulder in the marinade in the fridge overnight. 5. The next day preheat the oven to 125˚C (approximately 250˚F). Cook the lamb for 8 hours covered in the casserole pan, then remove the lid and foil. Turn the oven up to 200˚C (approximately 390˚F) and cook the lamb for a further 60 minutes, basting every 15 minutes. This will reduce the juices and caramelise the meat.
