Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds lamb shoulder
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 6 garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small food processor, combine rosemary, thyme, parsley, and peeled garlic cloves. Pulse until finely chopped.
Add olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the herb mixture. Process until you have a paste-like consistency.
Place the lamb shoulder in a large roasting pan.
Using your hands, rub the herb paste all over the lamb, ensuring an even coat.
Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil or a lid. This helps to keep the lamb moist during cooking.
Place the lamb in the preheated oven and roast for about 3 hours or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes of roasting to allow the herb crust to firm up and develop a rich color.
After removing from the oven, let the lamb rest for about 15 minutes before carving.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful Paleo Herb-Crusted Roast Lamb Shoulder.
