This slow cooked, chilli glazed lamb shoulder recipe is juicy, sticky and melts in the mouth. Perfect for a Sunday roast.
Ingredients
- 2-2.5kg lamb shoulder
- 3 fresh rosemary sprigs, plus extra to serve
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 250ml white wine
- 1 garlic bulb, divided into cloves, unpeeled
- 4-5 tbsp chilli jam (we like Tracklements)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 160°C/fan140°C/gas 3. Put the lamb in a roasting tin. Make incisions all over the meat, then pull off and insert small sprigs of rosemary into them. Scatter the remaining rosemary around the lamb.
- Drizzle the lamb with olive oil and season with plenty of sea salt and black pepper. Pour the wine around the lamb and cover the tin with a large sheet of foil. Roast for 3 hours. Remove from the oven, lift the foil and scatter the garlic cloves around the lamb. Close the foil again, return to the oven and cook for a further half an hour.
- Take the lamb out of the oven, remove the foil, then pour off the juices into a bowl. Spread the lamb with the chilli jam, then return to the oven for a further 30-40 minutes until tender and sticky. Remove the lamb and the garlic to a warmed serving platter to rest for 20 minutes and garnish with rosemary sprigs.
- Meanwhile, skim the fat from the reserved meat juices, then pour into a pan. Bubble over a medium heat until thickened, then serve with the lamb.

I love this recipe because it is the perfect alternative to a traditional roast dinner, for this summer weather. Simply pop into the oven, enjoy the sunshine then serve up with lovely baby potatoes and a big herby salad, mmmmmm.
I love this recipe because I can leave it cooking while we go out as a family and then all of us enjoy it together – even the 4 year old who doesn’t really like chilli!
I love this recipe because it’s so simple to create a really delicious meal. We throw some potatoes in as well after pouring the juices off.
