This show stopping lamb shoulder roast is super easy to prepare, requiring just an overnight marinade using simple ingredients that when combined together, create the most delicious tasting lamb. Cooking time is short, which is a must for those hectic pre-chag cooking marathons! You can be sure that your whole family will enjoy this soft and flavorful dish!
2 kilograms (about 4 and 1/2 pounds) lamb shoulder at room temperature
3 cloves of garlic finely grated or 3 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
1 thumb size piece of fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
1/2 a bunch of fresh thyme
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 tablespoon ground turmeric
3 tablespoons Bartenura Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Haddar Kosher Salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
Prepare a marinade by combining the garlic, ginger, thyme leaves, cumin, turmeric and olive oil in a bowl.
Season the lamb with sea salt and black pepper, then drizzle with the marinade and rub all over the meat.
Place on a roasting dish.
Place in the fridge for at least an hour and up to overnight for all the flavours to penetrate the meat.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and pour one liter of boiling water on the bottom of the roasting pan.
Cook the lamb for one hour to one hour and 15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
When the lamb is cooked to your liking, remove from the oven and leave to rest for 15 minutes.
Carve and serve with the pan juices left at the bottom of the roasting dish.
