Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 300°F. Rub 3 lbs boneless lamb shoulder evenly with 2 tbsp ground wattleseed, 4 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper, massaging the spices into the meat.
- Step 2: Place the lamb in a roasting pan, cover tightly with foil, and slow-roast in the oven for 3.5 to 4 hours until the meat is fall-apart tender.
- Step 3: While the lamb roasts, prepare the chutney by blending 1 cup fresh mint leaves, 1/2 cup coriander leaves, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 small deseeded green chili, 1 tsp honey, and 2 tbsp water in a food processor until smooth but still slightly textured.
- Step 4: Remove the lamb from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve slices topped with the fresh mint and wattleseed chutney.
