Sunday Roast lamb recipe
Have roast lamb this Sunday, and let this recipe show you how to cook it to perfection.

Ingredients

1/2 kg shoulder of lamb
60 ml granular mustard
1 clove of garlic (crushed)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Quarter of a teaspoon of ground ginger

Directions

Put the French mustard, crushed garlic, soy sauce, thyme and ginger into a bowl.

Gradually add in the olive oil, while stirring, and ensure that everything is well combined.

Gently rub the mixture over the shoulder of lamb and allow it to marinate in a cool place for 4 hours. You want the meat at room temperature when you pop it into the oven.

Place the shoulder of lamb on a rack in a roasting pan, cover with tin foil and roast in a 140 Celsius oven for 3 hours, then uncover, increase the heat to 180 and leave it for another 30 minutes or so. You want a nice dark crust on the outside.

Once the lamb has been roasted, it is essential that it is left to rest for about 15 minutes before carving (this helps to retain juices, which enhances flavour and prevents the meat from becoming dry). If you have ever cut into a roast and had juices flood your cutting board, that is because the moisture in the meat is still too hot, simple as that.

Serve it with roast potatoes and steamed broccoli and cauliflower smothered in a white/cheese sauce
