Equipment
Instruction
Prepare meat
Pre-order the shoulder of lamb from the butcher.
Wash the shoulder under cold running water and dry it.
Bones triggering
Carefully remove the lamb shoulder along the bone.
Separate the bone and the meat. Prepare the meat in the roasting pan.
Prepare garlic
Peel and provide the garlic.
Prepare herbs
Wash the herbs, shake dry, chop finely with the garlic.
Finely grate the lemon and set aside for marinating.
Marinate meat
PREPARE: Preheat the oven at 220 °C hot air for 15 minutes.
Season lamb roast with garlic, herbs, chili, salt and pepper.
Place lamb in roasting pan in oven on medium level.
Deglaze
Roast lamb for 25 minutes at high heat.
Then deglaze with red wine, veal stock and port wine and braise for another 40-60 minutes at 190°C.
Side dishes
In the meantime, prepare the desired side dishes, set the table and prepare the plates for heating.
Cut meat
After the cooking time has elapsed, prick the meat with a fork and check the cooking degree.
If the meat gives way softly and no more red Flesichsaft escapes, the roast lamb is ready.
Bind sauce
Transfer the lamb sauce to a saucepan, add grated potato and bring to a boil.
Let the sauce reduce a little to taste.
Serve
Heat the plates, then arrange prepared hot side dishes.
Carve the lamb shoulder and place the meat on the plate.
Bring the sauce to a boil, mix with cold butter, season with salt and pepper and serve.
To get an optimal lamb sauce you can use a dry red wine (Rioja or Pinot Noir), additional veal stock and some port wine to deglaze. Good luck!
