The Best Slow-Roasted Shoulder of Lamb with Harissa & Garlic

The Best Slow-Roasted Shoulder of Lamb with Harissa & Garlic

Slow roasting a shoulder of lamb with harissa and garlic is one of those incredibly easy and hands-off recipes where the oven does all the work. The lamb roasts slowly for four hours until it falls off the bone. The strained pan juices make a delicious jus to pour over the shredded meat.

This lamb with Middle Eastern flavours is the perfect centrepiece for a feast. I like to serve it with a few sides and tzatziki along with pita bread so people can build their own pockets. Family-style eating like this is the best way.

For years I have been stuck making slow roasted shoulder of lamb with garlic and rosemary and it’s really a great recipe. However adding harissa, thyme, smoked paprika and stock to the pan along with some cut-up root red onions and garlic heads makes a delicious sauce that keeps the meat succulent. This is my new favourite roast shoulder of lamb recipe and I can’t wait to make it again.

I prefer to cook lamb shoulder on the bone. This is where all the flavour lies. You can use a deboned shoulder if you prefer but you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.

Ingredients:
  • 1 shoulder of lamb on the bone – approx. 2.5kg
  • 5 – 6 rosemary stalks
  • 6 – 8 sprigs of thyme
  • 3 – 4 bay leaves
  • 2 whole heads of garlic cut horizontally
  • 2 small red onion cut into wedges
  • 2 Tbs Olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp harissa paste
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 250 ml lamb stock made from 1 cube
  • Salt and pepper
