American Honey Mustard Glazed Lamb Shoulder
Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
Ingredients
1 lamb shoulder, bone in (approx. 1.5kg)
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Dry rub
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp thyme leaves
1 tsp Mexican chilli powder
Glaze
1 tsp honey
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
Potato salad
600g Desiree potatoes, cut into 2-3cm chunks
1 tbsp whole egg mayonnaise
1 tsp whole grain mustard
1 tbsp chopped chives
Slaw
1⁄4 white cabbage, thinly sliced
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Cucumber pickles, sliced, to serve
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Place lamb shoulder in a large baking dish, brush with oil and sprinkle with dry rub and a little salt and pepper. Add 1 cup of water to the base of the pan and cover tightly with foil. Cook for 2 1⁄2 hours or until lamb can easily be shredded with two forks. Brush thickly with glaze and either shred or serve whole.
- Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water, bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes or until tender, drain. Toss with mayonnaise, mustard and half the chives.
- Toss sliced cabbage with vinegar and oil, a pinch of salt and pepper and serve lamb with slaw and potato salad topped with remaining chives and pickles.
Cooking Tips: if you can’t find a bone-in shoulder, a leg with a bone in or an easy carve shoulder are good substitutes.
