Slow-roasted jerk lamb shoulder with mojo verde
Latin American 20 Mins Prep · 300 Mins Cook
- Remove the seeds and veins from the habanero chilli (or Scotch bonnet) and finely chop. Mix together with 1 tsp of salt, 3 tsp of cumin, allspice, oregano, thyme and 2 tbsp of olive oil.
- Place the lamb in a roasting tray. Rub the spice mix all over the lamb. Allow to marinate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight.
- Prepare a gas or charcoal barbecue to a medium-low heat (150°C). Place a drip pan or aluminium tray in the centre, on top of the coals, underneath the grid.
- Add the water to the tray and cover with the foil.
- Place the roasting pan with the lamb on the grid. Slow cook the lamb for 5 hours or until very tender and the meat is falling off the bone – check the barbecue occasionally to make sure the fire is still going.
- Roughly chop the coriander, oregano and garlic. Zest and juice the lemon. Combine with 1 tsp of cumin, 4 tbsp of olive oil in a bowl. Season well.
- Serve the lamb with the mojo verde.
