Fall Off the Bone Spiced Lamb Shoulder

By Casey-Lee Lyons

This week Live Love Nourish is sharing with us not one, but two gorgeous savoury dishes perfect for the holidays. This one – a fall off the bone Spiced Lamb Shoulder (mouths watering already I’m sure) is a great one for a family get together over the holidays.

And so for all our carnivores out there, here’s a treat for you from the Affordable Wholefoods Family. Enjoy.

Ingredients:

1.5-2kg lamb shoulder (bone in)

1 whole garlic bulb

1 tablespoon (20ml) olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon ground paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

1/2 teaspoon ground fenugreek

Pink salt and black pepper

Method:

Pre-heat fan-forced oven to 200ºC. (I most often use my Webber BBQ for this).
In a small mixing bowl combine spices, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Place half of the peeled garlic cloves onto a large sheet of cooking foil.
Place lamb on top of garlic and a sharp knife to score the fat side.
Rub the lamb all over with olive oil and spice mix.
Place the remaining garlic cloves on top and wrap the lamb tightly in foil so you don’t lose any juices.
Transfer to a high sided roasting tray with wrack and place in oven.
Turn the oven heat down to 150ºC and cook for 3.5-4 hours or until the meat pulls apart easily with a fork.
Once cooked, remove lamb from oven, cover with a tea towel and allow to rest.
