Ingredients

• 4 pounds lamb shoulder (bone-in)
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup vegetable broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the herb mixture.

Step 3

Pat the lamb shoulder dry with paper towels. Rub the herb mixture evenly over the entire surface of the lamb, ensuring it is well coated.

Step 4

Place the lamb shoulder in a roasting pan and pour the vegetable broth into the pan around the lamb.

Step 5

Cover the pan with aluminum foil, ensuring it is sealed tightly to keep in the moisture.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, basting occasionally with the pan juices.

Step 7

After 2.5 hours, remove the foil and continue to roast for an additional 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the lamb is tender.

Step 8

Remove the lamb from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Step 9

Carve the lamb and serve with the pan juices drizzled over the top.
