A magical blend of earthy flavors with sweet and savory notes, perfect for family gatherings or special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lamb shoulder
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (or dried rosemary)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (or red wine vinegar)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Place the lamb shoulder in a large roasting pan and rub it generously with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, and finely chopped fresh rosemary.
- Brush the glaze all over the lamb shoulder, ensuring every crevice is coated.
- Cover the pan with foil and roast in the preheated oven for about 3 hours.
- Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes to allow the outside to brown and caramelize.
- Once fork-tender, remove from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes to catch the delicious glaze.
Notes
For added flavor, consider including seasonal vegetables in the roasting pan. Be patient and low-heat during cooking will enhance the flavors.
