Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds lamb shoulder (bone-in)
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup vegetable broth
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the herb mixture.
Pat the lamb shoulder dry with paper towels. Rub the herb mixture evenly over the entire surface of the lamb, ensuring it is well coated.
Place the lamb shoulder in a roasting pan and pour the vegetable broth into the pan around the lamb.
Cover the pan with aluminum foil, ensuring it is sealed tightly to keep in the moisture.
Roast in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, basting occasionally with the pan juices.
After 2.5 hours, remove the foil and continue to roast for an additional 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the lamb is tender.
Remove the lamb from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.
Carve the lamb and serve with the pan juices drizzled over the top.
