INGREDIENTS
- 1.5 kg bone-in lamb shoulder
- Olive oil
- Sea salt
- Cracked black pepper
- 1 brown onion, diced
- 1 large carrot, diced
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 1 bulb garlic, cut in half
- 1 large sprig Rosemary
- 1 large sprig Thyme
- 2 large chicken stock
DIRECTIONS
-
Prepare your charcoal grill or smoker for indirect cooking by setting up the accessory rack and deflector stones. Heat the grill to 225°F-250°F.
-
Season the lamb shoulder with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Sear the lamb on all sides for 5 minutes until caramelized. Remove the lamb from the grill and set aside on a plate.
-
In a Dutch oven, sauté the onion, carrot, and celery until lightly colored. Add the garlic and the herbs, followed by the lamb. Pour in enough chicken stock to cover the meat.
-
Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and place it in the grill for 5-6 hours. During the last hour of cooking, remove the lid.
-
Increase the temperature to 392°F (200°C) and cook the lamb uncovered for another 30 minutes or until it's falling off the bone.
-
Remove the Dutch oven from the grill and let the lamb rest for a few minutes.
-
While the lamb is resting, pour the remaining liquid from the Dutch oven into a saucepan and cook it over medium-high heat until it's reduced to a sauce-like consistency. Strain the sauce and set it aside.
-
Shred the lamb shoulder, season it with a pinch of salt, and serve it with the sauce, roast potatoes, and your favorite vegetables. Enjoy!
