We'll guide you through preparation and cooking techniques to maximise flavour, whether you prefer classic rosemary and garlic or something more adventurous. Pair with hearty root vegetables or a creamy mash, and don't forget a full-bodied red wine to complete the meal.



Cooking instructions:


  • Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). The aroma that will soon fill your kitchen will be worth the wait.

  • Generously rub the lamb with golden olive oil, crushed garlic, fragrant rosemary, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, ensuring every inch is covered

  • Nestle the lamb in a roasting pan surrounded by hearty root vegetables like carrots and onions, adding a splash of stock for moisture

  • Allow it to roast for 4-5 hours, basting occasionally, until the meat falls apart at the slightest touch

  • Once done, let the lamb rest, then serve it in glorious chunks, drizzled with the pan juices


Flavour inspiration: Embrace the season with rosemary, thyme, and mint for a refreshing contrast.

 

Side dish ideas: Pair with roasted root vegetables, velvety garlic mashed potatoes, or a refreshing mint salad to elevate your meal.

 

The perfect drink: Enjoy a glass of full-bodied red wine, like a Syrah or Cabernet Sauvignon, to complement the rich flavours.
