Equipment

  • 1 roasting tray

Ingredients
  

  • 2 kg shoulder of lamb on the bone - see notes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil recommend Belazu Crete Gold extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 bunch fresh rosemary
  • 1 bulb garlic, unpeeled and broken into cloves

Caper & Mint Gravy

  • 250 ml vegetable stock recommend Knorr Vegetable Stock Pot
  • 1-2 tbsp capers, drained and chopped
  • 30 g fresh mint, chopped
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar recommend Aspall Organic Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp cornflour mixed with a little water to make a paste recommend Brown & Polson Cornflour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to the highest temperature.
  • Lay half of the rosemary sprigs on the bottom on the roasting tray and place half of the cloves on top of the rosemary.
  • Rub the lamb all over with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the lamb on top of the rosemary and garlic and add the remaining rosemary sprigs and garlic cloves on top of the lamb.
  • Tightly cover the tray with tin foil and place in the oven. Immediately turn the oven down to 150℃. Cook for 4 hours. It is done when the meat easily falls apart and comes away from the bone.

Caper & Mint Gravy

  • When the lamb is cooked, remove from the tray and set aside.
  • Discard the fat, garlic and rosemary bits from the tray.
  • Put the tray on the hob on a low light and add the hot vegetable stock. Stir and scape the sticky bits off the bottom of the tray.
  • Add the chopped capers and cornflour paste. Stir and simmer for a few minutes until the gravy thickens to your liking.
  • Finally stir in the chopped mint and red wine vinegar. Pour into a jug and serve with your lamb.
