Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lamb

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the lamb shoulder with salt and black pepper. Place it in a roasting pan and add garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and cover with foil. Roast in the oven for 4 hours until tender.

  2. 2

    Make the Spearmint Aioli

    In a blender, combine fresh spearmint leaves, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

  3. 3

    Shave the Lamb

    Once the lamb is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Use a sharp knife to shave the lamb thinly.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Place two slices of sourdough bread on the griddle. Top each with shaved lamb and a slice of Havarti cheese. Place another slice of sourdough bread on top and grill until golden brown on both sides and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the griddle, slice in half, and serve immediately with a dollop of spearmint aioli on the side.
