Lemon

lamb shoulder in a lemon and herb crust

Picture a blend of thyme, lemon and honey, and just
Imagine how fragrant this recipe will be!

The lamb shoulder sits at room temperature, and
the oven is preheated at 180°C / 350°F.

In a bowl, combine the crumbled thyme (fresh or dried,)
The grated zest of a lemon,
One crushed clove of garlic,
A pinch of salt, olive oil, and
A generous drizzle of good honey.

Rub the lemon mixture all over the lamb shoulder.
Let it rest for at least one half-hour, to saturate the meat with the various flavors.

Place the lamb shoulder on an oven rack.
Place an oven sheet covered with tin foil under the oven rack, and
Roast leisurely!

When the meat is cooked,
Place it on a carving board, and let it rest for ten minutes.
Carve.

Serve vegetables sautéed in lemon as a side dish.
Ideal with steamed potatoes, mashed and mixed with olive oil.

- I always ask my butcher for advice as to how long the meat should cook,
as cooking times vary according to weight.

Yet another “classic,”
original and fragrant, and
ready in no time at all!
