Share:
Ingredients
- 3.5 to 4.5 lb lamb shoulder bone-in, 1.5-2 kg, Note
- salt or Kosher, fine sea salt
- black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Bring to room temperature: Take the lamb shoulder out of the fridge one hour before roasting it.
- Preheat the oven to 460°F/ 240°C.
- Prepare lamb: If the thick layer of skin is still on, remove it (it's usually already removed). Remove the silver skin on the underside of the lamb's shoulder using a small sharp knife.
- Season lamb: Place the lamb shoulder in a roasting pan. Sprinkle it generously with salt and pepper, rub the spices into the piece of meat, and place the roasting dish in the oven.
- Roast at high temperature for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the temperature to 360°F/ 180°C and continue slow cooking the shoulder of lamb for 3 hours.
- Cover with foil if required: If, during the last hour of the cooking time, you notice that the shoulder threatens to get too dark, cover the dish loosely with a piece of aluminum foil. It depends on your oven, so check to be safe. Remove the foil during the last 10-15 minutes of the cooking time.
- Rest: Once ready, place the lamb shoulder on a serving platter, cover it loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for about 15-20 minutes before carving.
Notes
- If your lamb shoulder is larger than that, you should add about 30 minutes for each extra 2 lbs/ 1 kg.
