- Easy recipe
- Spectacular showstopper
- Slow cooker recipe
Ingredients
- Grass-fed rolled & boned lamb shoulder (approx. 150g per person)
- 2 large onions
- 5 garlic cloves
- 3-4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 large pinches salt
- 6-8 grinds fresh black pepper
- 1 lemon - juice & zest
- 1 large bunch parsley
- 1 small bunch fresh mint
- 2 tablespoon capers in brine
- horseradish avocado oil mayo (I get mine from Hunter & Gather)
Preparation
01
Unroll your lamb & remove the excess fat. Add to a pressure/slow cooker.
02
Peel then roughly chop the onions & garlic, add to the lamb with rosemary, seasoning & 1.5 cups of cold water.
03
Pressure Cooker: Cook on high fro 45 minutes. Allow to naturally de-pressurise for 15 minutes then release any remaining steam.
Slow cooker: Cook on high for 2 hours then low for 6-8 hours.
04
When the lamb is cooked, lift it out of the broth & use tongs or 2 forks to pull the meat apart. It will melt into pieces easily.
05
To dress; pulse the lemon juice, capers, a couple of spoons of lamb broth & herbs in a food processor to create a rough paste. Add the lemon zest & pulse this in.
06
Sprinkle this over the lamb along with spoons of horseradish mayo (you could also use yoghurt or a horseradish sauce) & serve.
07
The remaining broth should be cooled & then the fat removed before using as a base for gravy, soup or another sauce to dress any lamb leftovers.
The cooked lamb & de-fatted broth will both keep in the fridge for 4 days or can be frozen for up to 3 months.
