Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 160°C.
  • Arrange sliced vegetables and rosemary in a deep lidded casserole dish.
  • Make twelve small incisions across the lamb shoulder with a sharp knife.
  • Insert anchovy pieces into the incisions in the meat.
  • Place lamb on vegetables, drizzle with anchovy oil, and season with pepper.
  • Pour white wine and 300ml chicken stock around the lamb and cover tightly.
  • Bring to a boil on the stovetop, then roast in the oven for 105 minutes.
  • Transfer cooked lamb to a roasting tray and increase oven heat to 225°C.
  • Mix glaze ingredients in a bowl and brush generously over the lamb joint.
  • Roast for 12 to 15 minutes until the glaze is sticky and brown.
  • Sieve cooking juices into a pan, skim off fat, and reduce by half over high heat.
  • Stir in cream and lemon juice to the reduced sauce and season to taste.
  • Set oven to 200°C for the bulgur wheat.
  • Toast bulgur wheat in a lidded ovenproof pan for a few minutes on the stovetop.
  • Add 450ml hot stock, seasoning, and 30g butter to the wheat and cover.
  • Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the liquid is fully absorbed.
  • Stir remaining 60g butter through the cooked wheat with a fork.
  • Slice the lamb and serve on a bed of kasha with cream sauce and salad.
