Easy Recipe for Roasted Lamb Shoulder

Roasted Lamb Shoulder Prep #CooknwithClass @PerfProvence

Lamb dishes are popular in Southern France; the climate with long spells of hot, dry weather is not well-suited for diary or beef cattle. However, smaller animals such as goats and sheep find lots to graze on in the fields and craggy hills. Prior to coming to Provence, I would have said that I did not like lamb, but obviously I had not experienced slow-roasted lamb shoulder. This recipe was prepared in a cooking class at the Cook’n with Class location in Uzes.

Notes

This lamb can be served with virtually any vegetables, seasonal, or simply your favourites. Potato, turnip, and parsnip make a wonderful alternative or mashed as an additional side to the traditional mirepoix.
According to Wikipedia: The Espelette pepper (French: Piment d'Espelette ) is a variety of species C. annuum that is cultivated and harvested in the French commune of Espelette, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, traditionally the northern territory of the Basque people. Read more about this pepper here.
