Lamb Shoulder Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Lamb

   Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Season the lamb shoulder generously with salt, pepper, and thyme. In a large oven-safe pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Sear the Lamb

   Add the lamb shoulder to the pot and sear on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same pot, add the onion, garlic, and carrots. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Celery Root

   Stir in the diced celery root and cook for an additional 5 minutes until slightly caramelized.

5. 5

   Prepare Tomato Confit

   Add the compari tomatoes to the pot and mix well. Return the lamb shoulder to the pot and pour in the chicken broth.

6. 6

   Braise

   Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for about 2.5 to 3 hours, until the lamb is fork-tender.

7. 7

   Cook the Kale

   In the last 15 minutes of cooking, add the chopped kale to the pot. Stir it in and cover again to allow it to wilt.

8. 8

   Serve

   Once cooked, remove the lamb from the pot and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the caramelized vegetables and kale.
