Ingredients
- 1.5 kg Lamb Shoulder
Method
- Step 1: Marinate the lamb (ideally overnight): Trim excess fat from the 1.5 kg lamb shoulder. Make shallow slits all over. Rub with 4-6 crushed garlic cloves, juice of 2 lemons, ½ cup olive oil, 2-3 tbsp dried oregano, salt, pepper, and optional white wine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours.
- Step 2: Preheat oven to 160-170°C (320-340°F).
- Step 3: Prepare vegetables: Quarter 4-5 potatoes, slice 1-2 onions, bell peppers, and add cherry tomatoes as a bed in a large roasting pan lined with 2 large sheets of parchment paper in a cross (overhang to seal).
- Step 4: Place marinated lamb on vegetables. Pour remaining marinade over everything. Add bay leaves and a splash of water/broth for moisture.
- Step 5: Seal tightly by folding and crimping parchment (or use foil). Roast for 3.5-4 hours until fork-tender.
- Step 6: Open parcel carefully (steam hot). Optional: Broil 5-10 min for color. Rest 15 min. Serve with pan juices, feta, and bread.
