About

This is a recipe I go back to time and time again when we have friends for dinner. Effortless cooking at its best that requires virtually no prep, just time in the oven. Serve it with a couscous salad, quinoa, roasted potatoes or stuffed peppers or some griddled seasonal vegetables.

Method

Pierce the lamb shoulder all over with a sharp knife. Combine the molasses, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin and coriander in a bowl.

Put the onions in a large casserole dish or roasting tray. Sit the lamb on top and pour over half the marinade, then turn the lamb over and cover with the remaining marinade.

Put a lid on the dish or tightly cover it with tin foil. Ad
