Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 shoulder of lamb, about 6 to 7 pounds
1/4 pound unsalted butter
Salt
Ground cumin

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Trim off any loose bits of meat and excess fat, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat. Put lamb in a roasting pan skin side up, cover with aluminum foil, and roast for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove from oven, uncover, and rub generously with butter. Cover with foil and return lamb to oven. Repeat 3 more times, once every 15 minutes.
  • After 3 1/2 hours, remove foil, raise heat to 425 degrees and cook 10 more minutes, or until the skin side is gold and crusty.
  • Remove from oven, place shoulder on a large platter, and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and ground cumin. Carve and serve with salt and cumin in small dishes on the side.
