Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Score the fat of 1.5 kg lamb shoulder and rub with 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tbsp ground wattleseed, and 6 thinly sliced garlic cloves, making sure to work the seasoning into the scores.
  2. Step 2: Place the lamb in a roasting pan with 3 rosemary sprigs and pour 1 cup vegetable stock into the base. Cover tightly with foil and slow roast for 3 hours until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
  3. Step 3: Remove foil and brush the lamb all over with 3 tbsp eucalyptus honey. Increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and roast uncovered for 15 minutes, basting with honey glaze every 5 minutes, until caramelized and sticky.
  4. Step 4: Rest the lamb for 15 minutes before carving. Serve with pan juices and roasted vegetables.
