About the recipe

Roast shoulder of lamb gives you the most tender, sweet, delicious meat that just falls off the bone – it’s definitely my favourite cut of lamb for roasting. Cooked in this way, you can get everything you want for a good price, feed six people, and have loads of leftovers. Keep the bones and any spare mint sauce for later recipes too.
