Recipe video above. A 3-hour lamb shoulder is great. A 12-hour lamb shoulder is better! The meat is even more succulent because a lower cooking temperature means less moisture loss, and better flavour infusion from the rub. The sauce is a Lamb Jus made using the braising juices so it has phenomenal flavour. Don't be intimidated, it's simple and no more difficult to make than gravy!This is an excellent make-ahead recipe for gatherings. Why? Because you can make up to 4 shoulders in one standard oven. And the room for error is also almost nil; it's almost entirely hands-off cooking that magically takes care of itself overnight. Most importantly, the meat is so juicy it reheats 100% perfectly. I cook it overnight and reheat to serve that evening.About scaling up: 2 shoulders can be cooked in one large pan with no change to cook time. 4 shoulders (2 lambs in 2 pans, on 2 shelves) takes about 14 to 15 hours.
Recipe video above. A very forgiving, very easy way to roast a leg of lamb, where the meat is slow-cooked until it's tender enough to pull it off the bone with tongs. It is not the blushing pink flesh carving sort (use this traditional Roast Lamb recipe if that's what you're after). Lamb leg is lean, so to slow cook it's best to partially submerge in a flavoured liquid which keeps the flesh moist plus infuses with flavour. I'm using garlic and rosemary in this recipe - classic lamb flavours!**IMPORTANT**: Lamb leg is lean so it should only be cooked for 1.5 hours until blushing pink & juicy (per this traditional Roast Lamb recipe) or slow cooked for 4.5 hrs until fall apart (this recipe). Anything in between is tough and not nice! For more roast lamb recipes, browse the recipe collection.
Bursting with fresh fragrant Mediterranean flavours, any cut of lamb can be elevated from wonderful to sensationally sublime with this easy and delicious Greek-style marinade using fresh garden herbs, Dijon mustard, olive oil, paprika, salt, pepper, and the zest and juice of one large lemon. Poured over and gently massaged into a bone-in or boneless garlic-studded leg of lamb, the marinade should be be allowed to work its culinary magic by covering and refrigerating the lamb for at least six hours, or even overnight if possible. Roasted in the oven at 425°F for 20 minutes then reduced to 350°F for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, the lamb smells heavenly as it slowly roasts in the luscious marinade, producing a wonderfully tender and fabulously flavourful Aegean-inspired Leg of Lamb — it's a 'keeper'.
