Slow Roasted Moroccan Honey Lamb Shoulder

Ingredients

1. Bring lamb shoulder to room temperature, then preheat oven to 180°C (fan forced).
2. In a food processor, combine olive oil, parsley, lemon zest, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, honey salt and pepper and blend until a paste forms.
3. Using a knife, score lamb shoulder all over then rub marinade all over. In the base of a large roasting dish place the rounds of onion and place lamb on top. Add stock to base of roasting dish and roast the lamb for 20 minutes uncovered.
4. Remove lamb from oven, cover with aluminium foil then reduce heat to 160°C and roast for a further 3 hours. After 3 hours combine honey and lemon juice in a small bowl and stir until well combined.
5. Remove foil and pour the honey glaze all over the meat. Roast for a further 30 minutes or until the lamb is fork tender or 90°C. Serve with an extra drizzle of honey for a gorgeous glisten.
