Number Of Ingredients 16

Private Reserve Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 carrots, cubed
6 Yukon gold potatoes (or any small potatoes), peeled, cubed
Kosher salt and pepper
2.5 lb boneless leg of American lamb, fat trimmed, cut into cubes (Or American lamb shoulder, bones removed, fat-trimmed)

This sweet, meltingly-tender lamb makes a show-stopping dinner party dish

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 3h50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tbsp pomegranate molasses
1 tsp ground cumin
juice 1 lemon
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 onion, roughly chopped
1 shoulder of lamb, weighing about 1.6kg, lightly scored
seeds 2 pomegranates
handful flat-leaf parsley leaves
100g bag watercress
1 small red onion, finely diced
1 tbsp olive oil
flatbreads, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. In a small bowl, mix the molasses with the cumin, lemon juice, olive oil and garlic. Scatter the onion over a casserole dish or a deep roasting tin. Place the lamb on top of the onions. Pour the glaze over the lamb. Rinse the bowl out with about 200ml water, then pour it around - not over - the lamb.
  • Cover the dish with a lid or the tin with a large piece of foil. Roast the lamb, undisturbed, for 3 hrs, then remove the lid or foil and continue to roast for 30 mins to give the lamb colour. When the lamb has had its time, pour off the juices, remove as much fat as possible, then pour the juices back over the lamb.
  • Just before serving, gently toss all the salad ingredients together. Serve the lamb with its sauce, the salad and some warmed flatbreads.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad. Use fresh lamb, spinach, and feta cheese.
  • Don't overcook the lamb: Lamb is best cooked medium-rare or medium. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
  • Use a good dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors of the salad together. Use a dressing that is flavorful and complements the other ingredients.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served fresh. The spinach will start to wilt if you let it sit for too long.

The lamb is tender and flavorful, the spinach is fresh and crisp, and the feta cheese adds a creamy and salty touch.
