Ingredients
- 1 kg lamb shoulder bone-in
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp harissa paste
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Coriander for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160°C (fan-assisted).
- In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, harissa paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, and ground cinnamon to make a spice paste.
- Place the lamb shoulder in a roasting tray and rub it all over with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper.
- Spread the spice paste evenly over the lamb, covering it entirely.
- Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 55-60°C; for medium, aim for 60-65°C.
- Once cooked, remove the lamb from the oven and allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
