Ingredients for One Pot Lamb Roast Recipe:

• 1 boneless lamb shoulder (cut into thick chunks)
• 5-6 potatoes (or more if you’re feeding a small army)
• 2 tbsp oregano
• 2 onions (quartered)
• 1 tsp garlic mince (or 1 garlic clove, diced)
• 2 cups beef stock
• Salt & pepper
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• Juice of one lemon

Method

1. Cut the potatoes, quarter the onions, and dice the garlic. Throw everything into your Bessemer pot like the culinary genius you are.
2. Season liberally with salt, pepper, and oregano. This is not the time to be shy.
3. Drizzle with olive oil and mix everything together with your hands (yes, your hands – we’re getting personal with this lamb).
4. Let it marinate for at least an hour. Longer if you have the patience of a saint.
5. Pour in the beef stock and pop the pot into a preheated 180°C fan-forced oven.
6. Roast uncovered for 2 hours, checking every 40 minutes to make sure the stock hasn’t vanished into the abyss. If it has, add more.
7. Serve with bread, a fresh salad, and a side of tzatziki (because everything is better with tzatziki).
8. Finish the meal with something sweet like loukoumades, galaktoboureko, or bougatsa – basically anything from my desserts page.

Pro Tip:

If you want that rich, golden, slightly crisp finish on your lamb and potatoes, crank the oven up to 200°C for the last 15 minutes.
