Sticky Slow Cooked Lamb Shoulder & Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 2-2.5kg lamb shoulder, on the bone or rolled
  • 5 large potatoes, peeled & sliced thin with a mandolin
  • 1 large onion, sliced thin with a mandolin
  • 500ml lamb or chicken stock

Glaze 1

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 tbsp chopped rosemary leaves
  • 1 tbsp thyme leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Glaze 2

  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp miso paste
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 4 tbsp boiling water

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 160C. Layer the potatoes and onions in a baking dish and place the lamb on top. Slice across the lamb about 1cm deep.
  • Mix the Glaze 1 ingredients together and brush all over the lamb, getting into all the cuts. Pour the stock all around the lamb and over the potatoes.
  • Cover tightly with foil and roast for 4-5 hours, until tender.
  • Remove from the oven and turn the temperature up to 180C. Mix the Glaze 2 ingredients together and brush the lamb with it, then baste any dry-looking potatoes with some of the lamb fat bubbling in the dish.
  • Return to the oven uncovered for 20-30 minutes, until the top of the lamb and the potatoes are gorgeously golden.

Viral one-pot Sunday roast from Emily Bonner (@_eating_with_emily). Serves 6. She serves hers with peas and a red wine sauce, but it's delicious on its own. Source: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DeWJifnuJJf/
