Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg Lamb shoulder, bone-in
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 500 ml Vegetable stock (dairy-free)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
Place the lamb shoulder on a clean surface and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to form a paste.
Rub the herb paste evenly over the entire surface of the lamb shoulder.
Place the lamb shoulder in a roasting pan and pour the vegetable stock into the bottom of the pan to keep the meat moist during cooking.
Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and place in the preheated oven.
Bake for 2 hours, then remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 1 hour, or until the lamb is tender and has a golden-brown crust.
Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.
Serve the lamb shoulder with your choice of side dishes and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
