Oven pre-heated to 160'C.

Meat rubbed with salt, pepper, rosemary, garlic and lemon juice.

Also roughly cut carrots, celery and onion.

Bung it all into the tray, 2 layers of foil.

After 3 hours i removed the foil and placed pumpkin, potatoes and sweet potato into the juices, ramped oven up to 200 and cooked for another 1/2 hr.

Removed lamb to rest.

Removed vegetables and drained all the juices - replaced veggies and cooked till ready.

Cup of frozen peas and a little water into the microwave, cook, drain, add butter and salt.

Siphoned off most of the fat from the juices, blitzed, added some gravy powder and flour, little bit of tomato sauce and cooked till reduced a bit and thickened.

Went to cut the meat and it fell apart and just used tongs to pull it apart.

I always put the pumpkin in too early! Par boil the spuds.

Cold lamb sangos the following day mmmmmmmmm

I have never cooked a shoulder of lamb. I didn't even like lamb much until a few years ago. I cook a leg a few times a year but have never tried the shoulder.

Yes, I've cooked two legs of lamb this year.

Two to go.

Thanks for that, you may have turned me off lamb again for awhile :'(

I watched an interview with Paul McCartney once and he said the family was sitting down to Sunday lunch and saw lambs frolicking outside. They decided then that they did not want to eat meat anymore and turned vegetarian.

He also demonstrated the easiest way to peel a hard boiled egg. I still use his method.

The absolute best cut is the shoulder of lamb, mutton and pork, also pork belly. You haven't had a good pork roast until you've had a shoulder or belly roast, with crackling. Both produce the best crackling. 8-)
