Ingredients

Lamb rolled shoulder 0.8 - 1kg
Garlic 4-6 cloves, minced
Shallots 1, finely chopped
Fresh rosemary,4 sprigs, chopped
Fresh thyme leaves, 2 tsp
Coarse kosher salt a pinch
Freshly ground black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil, 3 tbsp, divided
Lemon zest 1 tsp
Baby potatoes, halved if large, 0.8-1kg

Directions

Defrost rolled lamb shoulder.
Preheat the grill to 450°F / 230°C.
In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, shallot, lemon zest and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Rub all over your rolled lamb shoulder.
In a roasting pan, toss potatoes with remaining olive oil and season with more salt and pepper. Place the lamb shoulder on top of potatoes and roast for 1 hour, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F/62°C.
Let the lamb rest for 10 minutes. Remove twine, slice, and serve.

Recipe Note

Place oven rack in lower third of oven. If your oven is small, consider covering the lamb shoulder with foil paper loosely for 45 minutes, before removing in the last 15 minutes.

The best cuts for this recipe
We recommend our Rolled Lamb Shoulders, which are noted as “remarkably succulent” by our collaborating chef. Because our lamb shoulder is so tender that even a shorter roasting time can result in a soft texture.
