Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Lamb shoulder
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup White wine
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to create a herb mixture.
Rub the lamb shoulder generously with the herb mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.
Place the lamb shoulder into a roasting pan, fatty side up. Pour the white wine into the base of the pan, which will help keep the meat moist during roasting.
Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil, allowing some space for air circulation. This will prevent the herbs from burning.
Roast the lamb shoulder in the preheated oven for about 2.5 hours.
After 2.5 hours, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Continue roasting for an additional 30 minutes or until the herb crust is golden and the internal temperature of the lamb reaches at least 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
Once done, remove the lamb shoulder from the oven and allow it to rest for 15 minutes before carving.
Serve the lamb shoulder with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, and enjoy!
