Cooking Instructions

1. Pre-heat the oven to 110°C.

2. Place a large pan over a medium to high heat, add the oil and, once hot, brown the lamb on all sides.

3. Transfer to a large cast-iron pot or casserole dish and add the remaining ingredients, spooning over the lamb until well coated.

4. Cover with a tight-fitting lid or tinfoil and roast for 7 to 8 hours, basting occasionally, until the meat is succulent and tender, falling away from the bone.

5. Serve on a bed of creamed butter beans, with flatbread on the side
