This is easy to make, you don’t even have to notice it’s in the oven apart from the incredible aromas it produces. I slammed this in the oven after Match of the Day and cooked on 100 degrees for 9 hours. The meat just falls of the bone, perfumed by the roast garlic and rosemary. I like to serve it with cous cous and tomato salad served with pitta bread. There should be enough left over lamb afterwards to make a wicked Shepherds pie which makes a great evening meal and beats the minced lamb by a county mile.
Oil pan and make a bed of the rosemary, crushed garlic (not peeled) and lemon wedges.
Season lamb with salt and pepper, scoring the flesh with a sharp knife, rub in olive oil over the skin. Rub salt on the fat side and lay shoulder on bed, skin side up.
Lay the prepared lamb on the rosemary and cover with silver paper. Cook at 100 degrees for 9 hours. Remove silver paper and turn oven up to 250 degrees to 15 minutes to crisp the skin.
Allow to stand for 10minutes then serve as required.
