Hardys Sticky Roast Shoulder of Lamb
Easter should be a celebration spent with family and friends, for me,
a slow roasted shoulder of lamb, cooked with Hardys red wine, will
always be the centrepiece at my dinner table. Why not try my
recipe? It’s super simple and looks spectacular, but make sure to
keep some of the lamb as you will want to use the leftovers in my
banging biryani recipe which is featured next.
For Easter, There’s Hardys!
INGREDIENTS
(serves 6)
1 heaped tsp. sweet paprika
1 bulb of garlic peeled
3 sprigs of fresh rosemary
50ml olive oil
1 tsp. salt
2kg Bone in shoulder of lamb
2 small onions quartered
300ml Hardys red wine
Glaze:
1 tbsp. Redcurrant jelly
1 tbsp. mint sauce
1 tbsp. honey
1 tbsp. pomegranate molasses
METHOD
2 Place the lamb shoulder on top of the onions inside a roasting tray then pour over the Hardys red wine.
Drizzle the marinade onto the lamb then rub all over to make sure it has a good coating. Cover with a double layer of foil, making sure its tightly sealed. Place into an oven set to 160c / 140c fan / gas mark 3 for 5 hours.
3 Once cooked, remove the foil then Pour off the cooking liquid into a clean pan, add the redcurrant jelly, mint sauce, honey and pomegranate molasses into the sauce then reduce over a high heat until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
4 Use the glaze to generously baste the lamb, then return to the oven, uncovered for a further 30 minutes.
Baste the lamb a few times with the glaze during this cooking time, this will create a delicious sticky coating on the lamb. Once cooked remove the lamb from the oven and leave it to rest for a further 30 minutes.
