To Serve:

Preheat the oven to 150°C.

Use a sharp knife to cut 2cm deep cuts in a crisscross fashion all over the lamb. This will allow the marinade to soak into the meat.

3

Season the shoulder all over with salt and set aside.

4

Put all the marinade ingredients in a small blender and pulse to a smooth paste.

5

Rub the marinade all over the lamb, making sure to get it into all the cuts.

6

Place the lamb in a roasting tray, add the chicken stock and cover with aluminium foil. Transfer to the oven for five hours.
