Just thought I'd put up the recipe for some grogeous lamb that DP did yesterday (I just did all the vegetables and stuff, much more effort but hardly any credit).
It's roughly from Jamie at Home, and for 6 people we had a 1.8 kilo shoulder of lamb, on offer at Sinaburys at the moment for £4.50 a kilo. It was vacuum-packed a looked ugly but tasted good.
Turn oven up as high as it will go.
Take lamb out of plastic wrapping.
Score lamb all over with a sharp knife.
Rub lamb with salt and pepper.
Go 'yuck' at yours hands'
Smash a whole bulb of garlic, put half the cloves (still in their pink skins) into roasting tinpan.
Put a few branches of rosemary (nicked from the middle of a nearby roundabout) into the roasting tin.
Put lamb into roasting tin.
Put the rest of the garlic cloves and a few more branches of rosemary on top of the lamb.
Drizzle with a bit of olive oil.
Cover roasting tin tightly with two sheets of tinfoil so the steam will stay inside.
Put into oven, and immediately turn oven down to 170 C (apparently about gas 3, but was gas 5 on our oven)
Wait for 4 hours, trying to resist the lovely smell.
Eat.
