Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless shoulder of lamb trimmed of fat, cut into 4 pieces or 6 pieces
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
Dry rub:
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves stripped from the stalk and chopped
Veggies & other ingredients:
- 2 lbs potatoes peeled and cut into large chunks
- 2 Red Onions peeled and each cut into 4 wedges
- 6 cloves garlic peeled
- 1 red bell pepper deseeded and cut into 8 thick strips
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 cup white wine
- 3 rosemary sprigs
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly brush a 9x12-inch casserole dish with oil and set it aside.
- Mix the rub ingredients in a small bowl. Lightly brush the meat with two tablespoons of olive oil and apply the rub mixture evenly onto it.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add two tablespoons of olive oil, and brown the lamb.
- Transfer the meat and the juices from the pan into the casserole dish.
- Add the red onions, garlic, potatoes, bell pepper, lemon juice, and white wine. Add rosemary sprigs and bay leaves.
- Cover the dish with foil. Cook for 2.5 to 3 hours until the meat is tender, stirring the vegetables occasionally and basting the meat.
- Discard bay leaves and rosemary sprigs. Garnish with parsley, fresh rosemary, and lemon zest before serving.
Notes
- When choosing which cut of lamb to buy for this recipe, I recommend using shoulder meat. A leg of lamb is a good cut for faster cooking recipes like quick roasting, grilling, or pan-basting. My recipe calls for a cooking time of three hours, so I use the shoulder because it has more fat to keep it juicy. The shoulder has a lot of connective tissue, making it tender as it cooks slowly. This also helps give the meat a richer flavor and a more profound, robust, meaty taste. Not only that, but this cut is much less expensive than the more valued leg of lamb that has a higher price tag.
- Before roasting, bring the meat to room temperature to help it cook more evenly.
- Ovens do not all cook at the same temperature, so do not rely only on “cooking time.” Use a digital meat thermometer to check if the meat is done.
- Do not overcook the meat. Remove the meat when it reaches 135 degrees F. It will finish heating as it rests.
- Let it rest for at least 15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute back into the meat.
- Soaking the meat in lemon juice or vinegar overnight can remove the gamey flavor and tenderize it.
