How long should I cook boned shoulder of Lamb? - Homemade long noodles made with egg dough on table

I have 794g of lamb shoulder. It is boned (can you buy it with a bone in??). How long should I cook it?

I have Delia's Complete Cooking Course, which suggests cooking for 30 minutes at 230C plus 30 degrees at 180C per pound (450G); about 1hr 20 minutes.

Delia Online just says 30 minutes per pound at 190C.

Which would people recommend?

Best Answer

Shoulder is a tough cut. I think you will probably find it a bit chewy if you've cooked it at 190ºC for 52 minutes. In future, preheat the oven to maximum, place the lamb in a roasting tin, cover the tin with foil, put the tin in the oven, then immediately turn the oven down to 150ºC, and leave it for 4 hours. After that time, take it out of the oven and let it rest for 30 minutes or so. The lamb will melt in your mouth.

And yes, you can buy a bone-in shoulder at just about any supermarket, and they are usually tastier. Cook it as above and you will just be able to pull the bone out of the meat.

    If boned ensure the joint is tied tightly with cooking twine, trim the fat so that it is uniform all around and lightly score. Brown all external surfaces on a hot pan/skillet.
