Boneless Lamb Shoulder Roast Recipes

LAMB SHOULDER ROAST IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven at 190°C / 375°F Gas Mark 5 for at least 20 minutes.
• Marinade - In a bowl, combine the spices (paprika, cumin, coriander) along with salt, pepper, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.Pro tip - The spice rub is not wet but almost dry and that is what we want. This way it will stick to the lamb all through the cooking time.
• Lamb - Trim excess fat off the lamb and pat dry on all sides.Pro tip - If the lamb is wet the marinade will slide off the meat as soon as it starts cooking. So, if the meat was frozen, ensure that it is thawed at least an hour before marinating.
• Generously rub the spice marinade all over the lamb making sure to rub the sides as well. Pro tip - You can leave this lamb to marinate in the fridge for up to 12 hours or on the counter for an hour. But, it is not necessary.
• Place the lamb in a roasting pan on the roasting rack. Generously brush with the olive oil.Pro tip - If using a thermometer, like me, add it in the center in the thickest part of the meat.
• Add one cup of water to the roasting pan to prevent the fat drippings from the lamb from smoking in the oven. Pro tip - If you find the water has evaporated and the fat is smoking, feel free to add another cup of water during the roasting time.
• Roast for about 70 to 80 minutes or until the desired doneness. Mine took about 70 minutes.- Medium rare - between 130 F to 135 F, approximately 20 minutes per pound - Medium - between 135 F to 140 F, approximately 22 to 23 minutes per pound - Medium well - between 145 F to 150 F, approximately 25 minutes per pound.- Well Done is between 155 to 165 F, or approximately 30 minutes per pound.
• When it reaches desired doneness, remove it from the oven. Move the lamb to a serving platter and cover with aluminum foil. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes to help the juices settle.
• Place the roasting rack on medium-low heat with 1/2 cup water. Add the broth and use a flat spatula to deglaze the pan scraping as much as you can, but avoid the burnt parts.
• Then, add the flour and stir well bringing it to a boil on medium-high heat. Continue to cook until it thickens. If necessary add a few tablespoons of water or broth as necessary.
• Then, pour into a sauceboat to serve with the lamb over mashed potatoes, lemon rosemary roast potatoes, lemon dill potatoes, potato wedges and side salad like avocado, tomato, beet

BONELESS LAMB SHOULDER ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F. Mince together the parsley and garlic until quite fine (a small food processor will work for this). Add a big pinch of salt and some pepper and enough olive oil to make a slurry. Smear this on and into the lamb, being sure to get it into every nook and cranny you can reach. Put the lamb in a roasting pan (you can line the pan with foil to facilitate cleanup if you like).
• Roast for about 1 1/2 hours, basting with the pan juices every 30 minutes or so. When the internal temperature reaches 140°F, turn the heat to 400°F and roast for about 10 minutes more, or until the internal temperature is 150°F and the exterior has browned nicely.
• Let the roast sit for about 10 minutes before carving, then carve and serve, with some of the juices that come out during carving.

INCREDIBLE ROASTED SHOULDER OF LAMB WITH SMASHED VEGETABLES AND GREENS

Steps:

• For the lamb:
• Preheat your oven to full whack, (450 to 500 degrees 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 pan, rub the lamb all over with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place it in the pan on top of the rosemary and garlic, and put the rest of the rosemary and garlic on top of the lamb. Tightly cover the tray with aluminum foil and place in the oven. Turn the oven down immediately to 325 degrees F and cook for 4 hours - it's done if you can pull the meat apart easily with 2 forks.
• For the vegetables:
• When the lamb is nearly cooked, put thepotatoes, carrots and rutabaga into a large pot of boiling salted water and boil hard for 20 minutes or so until you can slide a knife into the rutabaga easily. Drain and allow to steam dry, then smash them up in the pan with most of the butter. If you prefer a smooth texture, add some cooking water. Spoon into a bowl, cover with foil and keep warm over a pan of simmering water.;
• For the sauce:
• Remove the lamb from the oven and place it on a chopping board. Cover it with foil, then a kitchen towel, and leave it to rest. Put a large pan of salted water on to boil for the greens. Pour away most of the fat from the roasting pan, discarding any bits of rosemary. Put the pan on the stovetop over medium heat and mix in the flour. Add the stock, stirring and scraping all the sticky goodness off the bottom of the pan. You won't need gallons of gravy, just a couple of flavorsome spoonfuls for each serving. Add the capers, turn the heat down and simmer for a few minutes.
• Finely chop the mint and add it to the sauce with the red wine vinegar at the last minute then pour into a pitcher. Add the greens and stalks to the pan of fast-boiling salted water and cook for 4 to 5 minutes to just soften them. Drain and toss with a knob of butter and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place everything in the middle of the table, and shred the lamb in front of your guests. Absolutely delish!
