Is there anything as iconic as a roast with family on a Sunday afternoon? We enjoy it because not only is it delicious to share a feast with family, but it takes a lot of time to cook. Our stuffed roasted lamb shoulder is a great twist on an already iconic meal and will make everybody happy. The best way to start preparing for this recipe is getting an already deboned lamb shoulder from your local butcher or market.

Stuffed roasted lamb shoulder tips

When cooking, you don’t want to close the shoulder with foil but you can roast it in a roasting pan. Add some stock and wine into the pan for extra flavour. You don’t want to open the oven for at least 2.5 hours. When stuffing, use a very sharp knife to cut into the shoulder and tie together with twine you get from the butcher. The mushrooms are a bit crispy and go very well with the roast and other vegetables, rice and potatoes.

Enjoy another Sunday feast with friends and family. Make them smile and fill them with delicious stuffed roasted lamb shoulder and happiness.
