Slow cooked lamb shoulder is one of those easy roasts that’s hard to get wrong. All you need is a little time up your sleeve. You don’t even need to carve it. It should break up easily with just a couple of spoons or forks.

Our recipe contributor, Alana Lowes, has given this lamb shoulder recipe a Middle Eastern twist with a beautiful spiced marinade featuring pomegranate molasses, that’s packed with flavour.
