I wow my guests with this recipe often. I serve it with broccolini or broccoli chargrilled briefly (still al dente) and a splash of lime infused olive oil.
Also roasted potatoes or a salad depending on the time of year.

Hi Lou, any rice or spinach side dish would be great. or even a classic roast potato. Enjoy! The dh team

What side dishes could I serve with this please?

Hi Robyn! 200 degrees isn’t too hot because we are leaving the bone in the lamb shoulder, which means that it will take a while to heat all the way through. Happy cooking!

What would you serve with this? Pilau rice?

Robyn Ford

Isn’t 200 degrees rather hot for a ‘slow roasted lamb’ ?
