Arun's slamming lamb shoulder by Brett McGregor

Serves 6
Prep time 20
Cook time 4 hours + resting

This lamb is tender, so tender you can pull it apart with a couple of spoons. It’s the
highlight of any Indian feast, and best eaten with Bombay potatoes, cauliflower and
potato curry, naan and some dhal. This recipe is dedicated to a great old mate of mine.
Arun it was you and your family who got me into spicy food, so it is only fair that I give
back a little something . . . miss you, bro.

Ingredients
1.8–2 kg lamb shoulder
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp coriander seeds, toasted and ground
2 tsp chilli powder or to taste
2 tsp ground turmeric
2 tsp garam masala
3–6 green chillies, pounded into a paste
4 cm knob of ginger, pounded into a paste
5 whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
1 bulb garlic, unpeeled and sliced in half
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 200ºC.
2. Place the lamb in a roasting tray. Make a few cuts into the fat side of the lamb
with a knife and rub the oil all over the meat.
3. Place the coriander seeds, chilli powder, turmeric, masala, chillies and ginger in
a small bowl and combine.
4. Add the cloves, cinnamon sticks and garlic to the roasting tray, rub the lamb all
over with the spice mix and season with salt and pepper. Add ½ cup water to the
roasting tray then cover the tray with tinfoil and place in the oven.
5. Turn the oven down to 170°C and cook for 4 hours. The smell will be amazing
and the lamb will fall apart.
6. Remove the lamb from the oven and discard the cloves and whole cinnamon
sticks. Place on a chopping board, cover with tinfoil, then a tea towel, and leave
to rest for 10 minutes before pulling it apart with two forks.
