To prepare the Slow Braised Lamb Shoulder w/ Carrots & Gremolata

For the Gremolata

Roughly chop the parsley and place in a bowl along with the other ingredients. Stir and set aside.

For the Lamb

Sweat the onion and garlic in a pot with the oil. Add the thyme and rosemary and the white wine. Reduce the wine, add the lamb and then add the tomato and veal stock just to cover.

Cover the pot and braise at 150C until tender (about 2 ½ - 3 hrs).

After 1 hour of cooking, add the carrots.

Remove lamb from the oven when the lamb is meltingly tender and let rest for about 1 hour (if you have the time).

Strain the liquid and reduce if necessary. Roughly chop the lamb and pour the cooking liquid over the lamb along with the carrots. Finish the stew with the gremolata.

Note: You may also cook the lamb, on the bone, at an even slower temperature at 120C. Leave to cook slowly for about 7 hours.
