Slow Roasted Garlic

Slow-Roasted Garlic, Honey & Mustard Lamb Shoulder

👉Ingredients:

◾️3 to 4 lbs bone-in lamb shoulder

◾️6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

◾️3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard

◾️3 tablespoons honey

◾️¼ cup olive oil

◾️1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

◾️1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

◾️Zest and juice of 1 lemon

◾️Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

👉Instructions:

↪️1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).

↪️2. Pat the lamb dry with paper towels. Use a sharp knife to make small slits all over the lamb, and tuck the garlic slices into the slits.

↪️3. In a bowl, mix together the mustard, honey, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

↪️4. Rub this mixture generously all over the lamb shoulder, coating it well.

↪️5. Place the lamb in a deep roasting pan or Dutch oven. Cover tightly with foil.

↪️6. Roast in the oven for 4 to 5 hours, until the meat is incredibly tender and pulls away from the bone easily.

↪️7. Remove the foil, raise the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C), and roast for another 15–20 minutes until the outside is golden and caramelized.

↪️8. Let the lamb rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
