Slow cooked to perfection, this delicious garlic marinade teams beautifully with lamb shoulder. You can also use the marinade on a roast chicken.

Great recipe. Classic flavors. I cook lamb chops in the similar marinade but without mustard. To be honest the marinade tastes better with mustard. Long story short. I sticked to the recipe though the lamb shoulder I had was 1.7kg. I was worried about cooking time etc. But everything worked quite well. Very tender and falling-of-the-bone type of meat. Two tips: get a good quality lamb shoulder and let it rest for 30min under the foil on a clean dish after removing it from the oven.

I'm sorry but anyone who claims this is the worst recipe ever made must not know how to cook. The flavours are classic combinations for lamb roast. To the review from Linda and her husband you must have made a mistake or used poor quality ingredients. I have been cooking this recipe and using the marinade for years and it works every time. I love it and others obviously love it too from the other reviews.
