  • 15 shallots, peeled
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 head of garlic, cloves removed
  • 1 cup dried apricots
  • 5 tbsp NoMU Moroccan Rub
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 shoulder of lamb
  • ½ a litre of lamb/chicken stock
  • NoMU Just Salt Grinder

Moroccan lamb shoulder with apricots and cinnamon


Preheat oven to 140 ºC

Combine your onions, garlic, cinnamon and apricots with half of you NoMU Moroccan Rub and some of your olive oil in a roasting tray and stir well to combine, season with NoMU Just Salt & Pepper.

Take the remaining rub and rub over the shoulder of your lamb with your remaining olive oil. This can be done a day in advance to gain the best flavour. Once your lamb has marinated and is ready place it on top of your shallots and apricots. Pour over your stock and cover tightly with foil. Roast in an oven at 140 ºC for 3-4hrs until the lamb is soft and falls off the bone.

Once the meat is ready, remove the foil and place all the sauce in a pan. Leave the lamb under the grill for 10-15 minutes to brown While the lamb is browning reduce the sauce so a nice gravy forms and pour this over your lamb and serve.

 

Wine suggestions

If you're in the mood to splash out, definately go for the award winning Cloof Crucible Shiraz. It's powerful, concentrated flavours will be able to stand up to the sweet spiciness of the lamb.
