Description
A luxurious and comforting dish featuring tender slow-roasted lamb paired with a creamy garlic sauce and sweet caramelized grapes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lamb shoulder (about 4–5 lbs)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grapes, halved
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Rub the lamb shoulder generously with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and a sprinkling of salt and pepper.
- Place the seasoned lamb shoulder in a large roasting pan and cover it tightly with foil.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and pulls away easily from the bone.
- While the lamb is roasting, prepare the sauce: in a saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Stir in the remaining minced garlic and let simmer for a few minutes.
- In a separate skillet, caramelize the halved grapes with sugar over medium heat until they are golden and softened, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Serve the tender lamb shoulder drizzled with the garlic cream and topped with the sweet caramelized grapes.
Notes
Allow the lamb to rest for 15-20 minutes after roasting to retain juices.
