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.
Why is every cruel bastard around here buying lamb shoulders all of a sudden !!! We are supposed to be a community people!!!!

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.

@canefan silly me I assumed you were feeding your families too, makes sense now.
That too. In my case Mrs CF isnt a great cook and I love to cook and eat

@canefan well that's good, was beginning to think you lot were cooking lovely meals for yourself and frozen chicken nuggets for the family.
I'm going to make French toast this morning, nice and simple but lots of cracked black pepper. -

I routinely make 3 dinners on a Sunday. A soup for the wife, something simple for the kids, and something elaborate/slow for myself.
I'll feed the family (inc wife) at 5.30pm, then eat my own meal at 8.30pm , alone, when the kids are down, with a quality bottle of red (often not the 1st of the afternoon/evening)
I'm like the anti-italian.

Loads of salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary and just a touch of cumin in olive oil are my go-to on this.
The quality of lamb shoulder is far more important than what you do with it.
The fight in my household is always what goes with it. I'm the roast potatoes king in the house, but I prefer a rough mash with slow cooked meat. The wife disagrees. We've had some proper barney's over it.
