Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.2 kg Lamb Shoulder
  • 500 ml Beef broth
  • 1 Onion cut into quarters
  • 2 heads Garlic cut into 2 sideways

Lamb marinade

  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper Ground
  • 3 cloves Garlic Chopped
  • 8 sprigs Rosemary Chopped
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 Lemon (squeezed and juiced)

Corn flour slurry for Lamb roast gravy

Lamb roast gravy

  • 50 g Butter Cut into cubes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 170C
  • Mix all ingredients listed under the marinade in a small bowl together
  • Apply the marinade onto the lamb until well coated inside and out
    The lamb doesn't need to be tied up as per the video, that's how I purchased it.
  • In a large deep baking tray, place the onions and garlic heads on the bottom, and place the marinated lamb shoulder on top of the vegetables. Finally, pour the beef stock into the bottom of the tray
  • Cover the tray with aluminium foil and cook it in the oven for 4 hours-4.5 hrs
    ( If the meat weighs more than 2 kg it will take more time to cook)
  • Last 45 minutes of cooking, take out the foil and cook until well caramalised on the top
  • Take out of the oven, Take the meat out of the pan
  • Strain the roast liquid into a saucepan. Let it come to a boil, then add the corn flour slurry ( Mix the corn flour with water) and mix well into the strained pan gravy using a whisk. Finally, add butter.
  • Carve the lamb, pour the gravy on top of the lamb and serve
