Treat your ingredients with care...
- Lamb shoulder — For the best results, choose a high-quality, well-marbled lamb shoulder. Trim any excess fat before cooking.
- Dried rosemary and thyme — If you prefer, you can use fresh herbs instead. Use double the amount of fresh herbs compared to dried.
Tips & Tricks
- For a more intense flavor, marinate the lamb shoulder in the olive oil, garlic, and herbs overnight before cooking.
- Serve the lamb with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad to complement the flavors.
- If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the seared lamb and sautéed ingredients to a baking dish before roasting in the oven.
- To achieve a crispy exterior, remove the lid or foil during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
Serving advice
Serve the tender lamb shoulder on a platter, garnished with fresh herbs such as parsley or mint. Accompany it with a side of roasted vegetables or a light salad for a complete Nouvelle Cuisine experience.
Presentation advice
Arrange the lamb slices on individual plates, drizzling some of the cooking juices over the top. Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme for an elegant touch. Serve with the suggested side dishes and enjoy the visually stunning presentation.
