@canefan @Hooroo can you both please stop talking about lamb shoulders!!! The 2x supermarkets here have none, it's killing me.
I did grab a pork shoulder, which I'll do in the next day or 2. I'll do that over a few hours, usually comes out pretty good, though I've never managed to get the gravy right, it's always too oily. Maybe I need to spend longer skimming it, I dunno.
Bro! Go to Neatmeat. I think they are open. They will do you a great south island lamb shoulder

Picked up a nice lamb shoulder to cook over the weekend - any suggestions? Thinking of a slow braise maybe, with a roast carrot salad of some description (have an excess of carrots).
Last night made the recipe that I believe has the greatest disparity between effort and 'wow' factor. Salmon poached in a soy broth. Any moron could do this, almost impossible to screw up, yet it tastes amazing and people think you are a genius.
Pretty healthy too with some rice and asian greens on the side. I recommend.

I've done this one a few times. You need a kettle BBQ or some sort of smoker

Fellas, if anyone has a favorite recipe, send it through. Lockdown inspiration needed, lots of time on my hands!
Must be able to be cooked in a conventional kitchen or on a webber bbq. Kitchen has oven, Le Crueset dutch oven, electric slow cooker.
What have you guys got?
A small shoulder of lamb in Dutch oven. Add stone in green olives (pressed/squeezed) a lime cut in half, hard herbs like thyme or rosemary a couple of whole chillies chopped in half and a cup of white wine or Rose.
Cover and cook low and slow
I swear by this

i have a really basic one, where you rub the shoulder in oil, season, and load up with garlic and rosemary. Cover it in foil, stick it in the oven on 150 for 4 hours. pull it out, rest it, serve. Never fails to taste good.
If you want to fancy it up a bit, rub it in a mix of yoghurt, cumin, chilli, coriander seeds, paprika, ginger and garlic. Stick in the fridge for 4 hours. then cook exactly as above.
I love lamb shoulder

Might give this one a try. Not sure the place I'm staying has a dutch oven but I'm sure I can improvise some solution to that problem.

Any oven dish with either a close fitting lid, a lid you can improve the seal with foil, or just tight foiling.
Obviously the heaviness of a dutch oven keeps a more constant temp for what is inside but the main thing is for it to cook in its own juices.
In fact improvisation could include oven bags as well. -

A slow cooker does the same trick. Makes a lovely sauce at the end while it is resting too.
EDIT: I should have kept reading the thread. @Crucial, as per usual, has it bang on.
