Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.6 – 2.2kg / 3.2 – 4.4lb lamb shoulder, bone-in
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 brown onion, unpeeled, cut into 6 wedges
  • 2 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped finely
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 2 garlic cloves, big!, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp salt, kosher or cooking salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp cornflour / cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 230°C / 450°F (210°C fan).
  2. Mix together all marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Rub this mixture generously over the entire surface of the lamb, ensuring you get into all cracks and crevices.
  3. If you have time, marinate the lamb on the counter in a roasting pan for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours in the fridge.
  4. Scatter onion wedges evenly across the base of your roasting pan. Place your marinated lamb shoulder on top and pour water into the pan.
  5. Roast uncovered in your preheated oven for about 45 minutes.
  6. Reduce oven temperature to 100°C / 210°F. Cover the lamb with baking paper followed by a double layer of tightly sealed foil and roast for an incredible total of 12 hours.
  7. After roasting, check if your lamb is done by testing it with two forks; it should be fall-apart tender.
  8. Carefully remove the lamb from its roasting pan and transfer to a large dish, covering loosely with foil to keep warm.
