Can you think of anything more classically Sunday than a roast with the family? It takes a lot of time to prepare, but we appreciate it since it is rewarding to sit down to a meal with loved ones and enjoy the fruits of your labour. One of our most popular meals is stuffed roasted lamb shoulder. The first step in creating this recipe is to get a lamb shoulder from a market or butcher that has already been deboned.
Stuffed roasted lamb shoulder suggestions
The shoulder is best cooked in a roasting pan without being covered with foil. To enhance the flavour, pour some stock or wine into the pan. At least 2.5 hours should pass without opening the oven. Cut through the shoulder with a sharp knife and use butcher’s thread to secure the stuffing within. The crispiness of the mushrooms complements the roast and the softness of the veggies, rice, and potatoes.
Have another wonderful Sunday lunch or dinner with your loved ones. Give them a reason to grin by stuffing a roast lamb shoulder with savoury ingredients and serving it to them with a side of joy.
