• 4 3/8 pounds lamb shoulder of
• 2 Knorr Lamb Stock Cubes
• 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil with a little to spare
• 6 tomatoes on the vine
• 2 shallots unpeeled and halved
• 2 cloves garlic unpeeled and halved
• fresh thyme
• 1 cup water
• fresh sage
• fresh parsley
• fresh rosemary

1. Pre-heat your oven to 170u0b0C, Gas Mark 3-4.
2. Crumble one Knorr Lamb Stock Cube with a tablespoon of olive oil and mix into a paste. Massage this into the lamb.
3. Add a little oil to the roasting tin and place the lamb joint in, skin side down.
4. Place the tomatoes on top of the lamb and arrange the shallots and garlic around the meat. Add a few sprigs of thyme, rosemary and sage leaves, and drizzle with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil.
5. Transfer to oven and cook for 21/2 to 3 hours, depending on your oven.
6. Once cooked, remove from the oven and place tomatoes, garlic and shallots to one side. Remove the lamb to a platter to rest.
7. Pour the fat from the roasting tin into a bowl and set to one side. Add a little water (about 250 ml) to the pan and crumble in a Knorr Lamb Stock Cube, mixing to dissolve the cube and sediment from the pan. Transfer to a saucepan, bring to the boil and reduce.
