Cooking Notes
can that cooking time really be right??
Cooking time depends entirely upon the thickness of the lamb. In my case, the suggested cooking time was MUCH too short. To get to 135 degrees- probably the best internal temperature for shoulder- it took more than twice the suggested cooking time. I checked periodically with my Thermapen.
Delightful! All the flavor came through nicely. Look a lot longer to be cooked but that was not a problem. Made a mistake of using all of the sauce to marinate but after scraping off it foe cooking the meat, I cooked the marinade with extra butter and it made a nice sauce.

Is the lamb shoulder cubed? The photo suggests not but the cooking time suggests a smaller cut.

Yes, I tried the recipe and it was sensational. So easy to make and tasty, to boot!
I have a tiny oven and yes it's right!
