Ingredients
- 4 pounds Lamb shoulder
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup White wine
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to create a herb mixture.
Step 3
Rub the lamb shoulder generously with the herb mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.
Step 4
Place the lamb shoulder into a roasting pan, fatty side up. Pour the white wine into the base of the pan, which will help keep the meat moist during roasting.
Step 5
Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil, allowing some space for air circulation. This will prevent the herbs from burning.
Step 6
Roast the lamb shoulder in the preheated oven for about 2.5 hours.
Step 7
After 2.5 hours, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Continue roasting for an additional 30 minutes or until the herb crust is golden and the internal temperature of the lamb reaches at least 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
Step 8
Once done, remove the lamb shoulder from the oven and allow it to rest for 15 minutes before carving.
Step 9
Serve the lamb shoulder with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, and enjoy!
