LAMB SHOULDER ROAST IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• 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.

Put the lamb in a roasting pan (you can line the pan with foil to facilitate cleanup if you like).

• Let the roast sit for about 10 minutes before carving, then carve and serve, with some of the juices that come out during carving.
