Oven-Roasted Lamb Shoulder Recipe

Lamb shoulder is a great cut of meat, too often overlooked in favor of more costly lamb chops and leg of lamb. When cooked properly, it is succulent and tender. Yes, it has saturated fat, but at 4 ounces of lamb per serving, it’s not going to hurt and it will more than satisfy a meat craving. The spices and flavorings I use here are inspired by portugal, where they use garlic, oregano, and piri piri peppers for a terrific chicken dish. Lemon-infused olive oil and fresh lemon juice cut through the fattiness for a sprightly flavor.
