This honey-glazed slow-roasted lamb shoulder is fall-apart tender, richly flavored with garlic and rosemary, and finished with a caramelized honey glaze. It’s the perfect centerpiece for a comforting family dinner or elegant holiday feast.

Ingredients

  • 1 lamb shoulder (bone-in or boneless)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 2 tsp dried rosemary)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil, for rubbing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Rub lamb shoulder with olive oil, then season generously with minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place lamb in a roasting pan and drizzle honey evenly over the top.
  4. Cover tightly with foil and roast for 4 to 5 hours, until the lamb is fork-tender.
  5. Remove foil during the last 30 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize and brown.
  6. Let rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing or shredding. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the honey for tanginess.
  • Mix in thyme or oregano for added herb flavor.
  • For a smoky touch, sear the lamb before roasting.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread.
