What could be better than a Slow Roasted Lamb Shoulder on this cold winter's day? So easy to cook and so so good! This is local lamb and is very lean so perfect for those of you who are mindful of cholesterol and fat content.

Slow Roasted Lamb Shoulder

Simply slash the shoulder with a sharp knife, rub olive oil over the whole joint, season with salt & pepper, throw in some garlic and rosemary, cover the roasting tin with tinfoil and pop in the oven at 170 for about 4 hours. What a delicious meal.

Or if you prefer a stew on a winter's night, get Simon or Jake to dice the lamb shoulder up for you! I did this recipe last night and it was super easy:
