Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 kilogram boneless lamb shoulder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon mint leaves, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
Rub the lamb shoulder with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, minced garlic, dried rosemary, and dijon mustard. Ensure the lamb is evenly coated on all sides.
Place the lamb on a roasting pan and roast in the oven for 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 60°C (140°F) for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time to your preferred doneness.
Once cooked, remove the lamb from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Wrap the cooled lamb tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Before serving, slice the chilled lamb thinly against the grain and arrange on a serving platter.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, mint, and the remaining salt and pepper to create a dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the sliced lamb or serve it on the side as a dip.
Enjoy your 'Cold Shoulder' with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad.
