Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Lamb shoulder
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 5 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme leaves, chopped parsley, dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to create the herb mixture.
Place the lamb shoulder on a large baking tray.
Rub the herb mixture generously over the entire surface of the lamb shoulder, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Let the lamb shoulder rest at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Cover the baking tray with aluminum foil.
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the lamb shoulder for 2 hours.
After 2 hours, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Continue baking for an additional 30 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy.
Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
Serve the herb-crusted lamb shoulder warm with your choice of keto-friendly sides.
