Ingredients

For the lamb:
1 (2.2-pound) shoulder of lamb
Olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large bunch fresh rosemary
1 bulb garlic, unpeeled, broken into cloves

For the smashed vegetables:
1 1/2 pounds peeled potatoes, cut into large chunks
3 large carrots, peeled and cut into small chunks
1/2 a large rutabaga, peeled and cut into small chunks
6 tablespoons butter

For the sauce:

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 cups good-quality hot chicken or vegetable stock
2 heaped tablespoons capers, soaked, drained and chopped
1 large bunch fresh mint, leaves picked
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 pound lovely greens, such as white cabbage, savoy cabbage, Brussels sprouts tops
or cavolo nero, leaves separated, stalks finely sliced

For the lamb:

Directions

Preheat your oven to full whack, (450 to 500 degrees F).

Slash the fat side of the lamb all over with a sharp knife. Lay half the sprigs of rosemary and half the
garlic cloves on the bottom of a high-sided roasting pan, rub the lamb all over with olive oil and season with
salt and pepper. Place it in the pan on top of the rosemary and garlic, and put the rest of the rosemary and
garlic on top of the lamb. Tightly cover the tray with aluminum foil and place in the oven. Turn the oven down
immediately to 325 degrees F and cook for 4 hours - it's done if you can pull the meat apart easily with 2
forks.

Ingredients

For the vegetables:

Directions

When the lamb is nearly
cooked, put thepotatoes, carrots and rutabaga into a large pot of boiling salted water and boil hard for 20
minutes or so until you can slide a knife into the rutabaga easily. Drain and allow to steam dry, then smash

them up in the pan with most of the butter. If you prefer a smooth texture, add some cooking water. Spoon into
a bowl, cover with foil and keep warm over a pan of simmering water.

Ingredients

For the
sauce:

Directions

Remove the lamb from the oven and place it on a chopping board. Cover it
with foil, then a kitchen towel, and leave it to rest. Put a large pan of salted water on to boil for the
greens. Pour away most of the fat from the roasting pan, discarding any bits of rosemary. Put the pan on the
stovetop over medium heat and mix in the flour. Add the stock, stirring and scraping all the sticky goodness
off the bottom of the pan. You won't need gallons of gravy, just a couple of flavorsome spoonfuls for each
serving. Add the capers, turn the heat down and simmer for a few minutes.

Finely chop the mint and add it to the sauce with the red wine vinegar at the last minute then pour into a
pitcher. Add the greens and stalks to the pan of fast-boiling salted water and cook for 4 to 5 minutes to just
soften them. Drain and toss with a knob of butter and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place everything in the
middle of the table, and shred the lamb in front of your guests. Absolutely delish!
