Jamie Oliver’s Roasted Lamb Shoulder: A Perfect Spring Dinner
Ingredients
- 500 g fresh greens such as white cabbage, Savoy cabbage, Brussels tops or cavolo nero, leaves separated, stalks finely sliced
- 1 large bunch fresh rosemary
- 2 kg lamb shoulder (about 4 1/2 lbs)
- olive oil
- sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 bulb garlic unpeeled and broken into cloves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to full whack (450 to 500°F). Slash the fat side of the lamb all over with a sharp knife. Lay half the sprigs of rosemary and half the garlic cloves on the bottom of a high-sided roasting tray, rub the lamb all over with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place it in the tray on top of the rosemary and garlic, and put the remaining rosemary and garlic on top of the lamb.
- Tightly cover the tray with tinfoil and place in the oven. Turn the oven down immediately to 170°C/325°F/gas 3 and cook for 4 hours – it's done if you can pull the meat apart easily with two forks.
