Best Matt Prestons Roast Shoulder Of Lamb Recipes

MATT PRESTON'S ROAST SHOULDER OF LAMB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180c.
• Add the oil and butter to a heavy-based roasting pan and heat until sizzling. Brown the meat on all sides then remove the pan from the heat, and the meat from the pan.
• Place the onions in the pan and stir them through the pan juices and fat. Place the lamb on top of the onions and place in the oven.
• After half an hour, add the garlic to the roasting pan. Turn the heat down to 120c.
• The lamb should be cooked after 90 minutes but is definately ready when it pulls apart easily.
• Remove the lamb from the pan, wrap in tin foil then cover with a newspaper and rest.
• Push the onions and garlic to the side of the pan, and place it on a medium heat. Pour in the wine and deglaze by scraping any brown and meaty bits off the bottom of the pan while the wine evaporates. Mix in the onions and garlic, pour all the pan contents into a tall vessel and blitz with a stick blender. Season with salt and pepper and coffee granules to taste.

INCREDIBLE ROASTED SHOULDER OF LAMB WITH SMASHED VEGETABLES AND GREENS

Steps:

• For the lamb:
• Preheat your oven to full whack, (450 to 500 degrees F).
• Slash the fat side of the lamb all over with a sharp knife. Lay half the sprigs of rosemary and half the garlic cloves on the bottom of a high-sided roasting pan, rub the lamb all over with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place it in the pan on top of the rosemary and garlic, and put the rest of the rosemary and garlic on top of the lamb. Tightly cover the tray with aluminum foil and place in the oven. Turn the oven down immediately to 325 degrees F and cook for 4 hours - it's done if you can pull the meat apart easily with 2 forks.
• For the vegetables:
• When the lamb is nearly cooked, put thepotatoes, carrots and rutabaga into a large pot of boiling salted water and boil hard for 20 minutes or so until you can slide a knife into the rutabaga easily. Drain and allow to steam dry, then smash them up in the pan with most of the butter. If you prefer a smooth texture, add some cooking water. Spoon into a bowl, cover with foil and keep warm over a pan of simmering water.;
• For the sauce:
• Remove the lamb from the oven and place it on a chopping board. Cover it with foil, then a kitchen towel, and leave it to rest. Put a large pan of salted water on to boil for the greens. Pour away most of the fat from the roasting pan, discarding any bits of rosemary. Put the pan on the stovetop over medium heat and mix in the flour. Add the stock, stirring and scraping all the sticky goodness off the bottom of the pan. You won't need gallons of gravy, just a couple of flavorsome spoonfuls for each serving. Add the capers, turn the heat down and simmer for a few minutes.
• Finely chop the mint and add it to the sauce with the red wine vinegar at the last minute then pour into a pitcher. Add the greens and stalks to the pan of fast-boiling salted water and cook for 4 to 5 minutes to just soften them. Drain and toss with a knob of butter and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place everything in the middle of the table, and shred the lamb in front of your guests. Absolutely delish!
