Ingredients:
  • 1.5kg lamb shoulder (bone in)
  • 36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 3 dried bay leaves, crumbled
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 3 sprigs fresh oregano
  • 510.00 gm chicken stock
  • Chargrilled pita bread, to serve
  • Orange and Fennel Salad, to serve
  • 220g tub hummus
  • 50.00 gm basil pesto
  • 400g plain Greek-style yoghurt
  • 31.50 gm lemon juice
  • 1 long red chilli, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 20.00 ml chopped fresh oregano
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan-forced. Place the lamb in a large roasting pan, drizzle with oil and rub to coat. Sprinkle with garlic, dried oregano, pepper, and bay leaves, then top with thyme and fresh oregano. Pour stock around the lamb, cover the pan tightly with 2 layers of foil, and bake for 1 hour 30 minutes. Remove the foil, reduce the oven to 160C/140C fan-forced, and bake for another 1 hour 30 minutes or until the meat falls easily from the bone.
  • To make Basil Pesto Hummus, combine hummus with 2 tablespoons of basil pesto and lemon juice in a small food processor. Blend until creamy, then season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl, swirl in the rest of the pesto, and refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
  • Prepare the zesty Lemon Chilli Yoghurt by simply mixing all ingredients in a bowl. Don't forget to season it with a dash of salt and pepper. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator until you're ready to enjoy it.
  • Present a plate of succulent lamb accompanied by zesty lemon chili yogurt, flavorful basil pesto hummus, char-grilled pita, and a refreshing Orange and Fennel Salad.
