What better way to fill a small apartment with delicious aromas than with a lamb shoulder slowly roasting in the oven for 4 hours. I love the shoulder meat, I reckon is has been flavour and is more tender than leg meat. Nothing beats a low and slow cooking at about 150 °C for between 3 and 4 hours.

Really really good. The meat was full of flavour and it was so tender. OMG, it was good.

It sounds like a great meal.
For a province that raises sheep, the only sales we seem to get in Ontario is frozen NZ lamb. The city market’s fresh lamb is very pricey though I have been known to buy the ground at $8 a pound for kofta on occasion.
We get a lot of very inexpensive pork though. 🙂
Mmm…Canadian pork is good. We have so much sheep in Australia. Per capita though New Zealand beats us hence the unsavoury jokes about NZ men and lady sheep.
I wish we could get such nice looking lamb here – not enough Greeks around!
It’s true Sarah, Australia has a big Greek population almost all over the country. We also have a lot of sheep.
It used to be said Australia’s economy was built on the sheeps back.
The shoulder of lamb looks like its very soft, the meat falling off bone kind of soft. It does look and sound good. Congratulations Chef Gary on another great meal. Don’t know about you, but in general I prefer lamb over pork, with chicken being my favourite meat. Second is fish 😀
Aliquot. Now I learned a new word today 😀
Thanks Mabel. I love a good steak. I will always be fond of chicken and duck. I do have a preference for roast lamb over roast pork, unless it’s a belly of pork done with sugar and soy. I’m a fan of most fish especially freshly caught barramundi, Australian salmon and real salmon.
Aliquot is an everyday word for me. I first learnt it working in a laboratory while in high school in 1982.
