Ingredients
- 1 pieces (about 4-5 lbs) Lamb shoulder
- 4 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 whole Lemon, cut into wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Step 2
Pat the lamb shoulder dry with paper towels. This helps the herb crust adhere better and ensures crispier edges.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, olive oil, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until it forms a rough paste.
Step 4
Place the lamb shoulder on a roasting rack set in a roasting pan. Rub the herb paste all over the lamb shoulder, covering the top and sides evenly.
Step 5
Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the lamb, without touching the bone. This will help monitor the internal temperature to avoid overcooking.
Step 6
Roast the lamb shoulder in the preheated oven for about 2 to 2.5 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer it more well done.
Step 7
Once the lamb reaches desired doneness, remove it from the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute within the meat.
Step 8
Slice the lamb shoulder against the grain and serve it with lemon wedges on the side for adding a fresh citrusy taste.
Step 9
Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot with your choice of side dishes.
