Description
A succulent and aromatic dish featuring tender lamb shoulder glazed with rosemary and honey, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bone-in lamb shoulder
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Rub the marinade generously over the lamb shoulder. Let it sit for at least an hour, or overnight if possible.
- In a large skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb shoulder on each side until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Place the seared lamb into a roasting pan. Cover with foil and roast for about 3-4 hours, until tender.
- About halfway through roasting, baste the lamb with the accumulated juices. Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes to achieve a caramelized crust.
- Once cooked, let the lamb rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
- Slice and serve with pan juices and your favorite sides.
