Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 140°C.
  • Sear the lamb shoulder in olive oil, then sauté chopped onion, carrot, and rosemary until golden.
  • Add white wine, reduce by half, then add stocks and bring to a boil.
  • Cover and braise the shoulder in the oven for one hour before cooling.
  • Pick meat from the bone, strain the stock, and reclaim the liquid by boiling and skimming.
  • Layer potatoes, seasoning, rosemary, and picked lamb in a dish, cover with stock, and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Increase oven temperature to 180°C.
  • Season and sear the best end of lamb, roast for 6–8 minutes, and rest for 15 minutes.
  • Reduce 150ml of stock for sauce, blanch vegetables in stock, and fry mushrooms in olive oil.
  • Cut potato cylinders using a ring, slice lamb into cutlets, and serve with vegetables and caper-infused sauce.
