Instructions

  1. Set the oven 160 C / 320 F
  2. Mix all of the ingredients for the marinade together except the water. Coat the whole shoulder in the mixture. Marinate overnight if you like. Otherwise put the water into a heavy baking dish and put in the marinated Lamb.( The water is just to give it a nice moisture laden start). Cover with baking paper and foil and seal very well.
  3. Bake for 4 hours.

To make the Salad

  1. Mix the herbs, spices, lime juice and olive oil. Add the black beans, tomatoes and stir. Mix in the crushed Feta and avocado if you want it in this salad ( You can add finely chopped onion if you like that. )

Salsa

  1. Use a food processor to make this. Put all the ingredients into the machine and pulse till pureed. If you want some chunks don't puree completely.
  2. The lamb is cooked when it is easy to pull apart with a fork.
  3. Use a spoon to drain off some of the oil from the sauce

Notes

  • Achiote is a very deeply coloured spice that adds a great lemony sort of flavour. You could substitute with a bit of Sumac, or even some preserved lemon chopped up very very fine, or just use lemon zest and juice.
