Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 300°F. Rub a 3 lb bone-in lamb shoulder all over with 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tbsp ground wattleseed, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary. Let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Place the lamb in a roasting pan and roast uncovered for 3 hours, basting every hour with pan juices.
  3. Step 3: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup bush tomato chutney, 1 cup red wine, and 1 cup beef stock. Simmer for 15 minutes until reduced to a thick glaze.
  4. Step 4: For the last 30 minutes of roasting, brush the lamb generously with the bush tomato glaze every 10 minutes to build a sticky, flavorful crust.
  5. Step 5: Remove the lamb from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes before carving. Serve with roasted root vegetables or mashed potatoes.
