Best shoulder of lamb recipes

[springsmiles]

Do my DH is in complete denial that he needs glasses, and came home very pleased with two lamb legs I had asked for....BUT they were actually lamb shoulders

So now on the hunt for lamb shoulder recipes

TÍA

Find a good slow-roast recipe, adapting slow roast pork if necessary.

For example coat in something - a paste of garlic, rosemary and black olives would work. Put on a rack over a baking tray. Stick in a hot oven (220° fan) for 30 minutes. Then turn the heat down to 120° and cook for eight hours or so. At the start and then every couple of hours pour a glass of water into the baking tray to help keep it moist. At the end, put the temperature back up to 180° for 20 minutes to crisp it up a bit. It should then be gloriously tender.

Also you'll drive everyone in the house mad all day because of the wonderful smell!

Good luck

You can cook as leg though I prefer to reduce the temperature and cook for longer.

I'd make kleftiko - lots of recipes online but not my usual one.
I prefer shoulder - tastier than leg.
