The recipe

Instructions

  1. 1
    Stab the lamb shoulder all over with a sharp knife. Push slivers of garlic and small sprigs of rosemary into each cut.
  2. 2
    Cube the potatoes. Toss in a deep tray with olive oil, oregano, lemon juice, salt and the stock.
  3. 3
    Sit the lamb on top. Cover tightly with foil.
  4. 4
    Roast at 160°C for 2.5 hours. Remove the foil, increase to 220°C for the final 30 minutes to crisp the lamb and brown the potatoes.
  5. 5
    Rest the lamb 20 minutes. Pull apart with two forks. Eat the potatoes with everything that's soaked in.
