Slow Roasted Lamb Shoulder
- 2 sprigs each sage, rosemary, thyme, summer savory
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
- 2 tablespoons sea salt
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 6-lb bone-in lamb shoulder
- Preheat oven to 425u0b0F (220u0b0C).
- Finely chop the herbs. In a mortar, coarsely grind the coriander seeds and set aside. Next grind together the salt and garlic cloves. Mix in the herbs, coriander, and a generous amount of black pepper. Finally drizzle 3-4 tablespoons olive oil to make a coarse paste.
- Trim the fat from the lamb and rub with the herb paste on all sides. Place the lamb shoulder in a large cast-iron pot or roasting pan. Put the lamb in the oven and let roast at a high temperature for 15 minutes.
- Reduce heat to 300u0b0F (150u0b0C), seal the pot with a tight-fitting lid (or with aluminum foil if using a roasting tray), and forget the lamb in the oven for 3 or 4 hours.
- The meat will fall off the bone, and it will be even more delicious reheated the next day.
