Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 300°F. Combine 6 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp sea salt, and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl to form a herb-garlic paste.
  2. Step 2: Rub the herb-garlic paste all over the 3 lbs bone-in lamb shoulder, making sure to cover every surface. Place the lamb in a roasting pan fat side up.
  3. Step 3: Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for 3 hours, basting every hour with the pan juices to keep it moist.
  4. Step 4: After 3 hours, pour 1 cup dry white wine and 1 cup low sodium chicken broth into the roasting pan, then increase the oven temperature to 375°F and roast for an additional 30 minutes until the lamb is tender and the skin is crisp.
  5. Step 5: Remove the lamb from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Pour the pan juices through a fine sieve into a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes until slightly reduced into a herb garlic jus.
  6. Step 6: Serve slices of the lamb shoulder drizzled with the jus for a flavorful Mediterranean dish.
