Fantastic lamb shoulder from the Green Egg. A 4 hour slow roast!

in #life7 years ago

Friday after work I went to Schell (the best butcher in Rotterdam) to buy something to make in the weekend on the Green Egg.

A friend of mine told me not long ago that I should really try lamb shoulder on the Egg.

I bought a 1.5KG lamb shoulder and roasted it today on the green egg for 4 hours.

It was amazing!

The lamb shoulder wasn't expensive. 10 euro the kilo.

The piece I bought in an oven dish in my kitchen.

Bianca made a marinate while I lit the Green egg. She used: a ton of garlic, mustard, sugar, smoked paprika, oil, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt. She covered the whole shoulder.

I prepared the green egg for indirect grilling (you can see the convector plate). 150C. Roasting the lamb shoulder without the oven Dish was a mistake. It started to drip a lot. Later I put the shoulder back in the dish.

4 hours later I opened the green egg and saw this. I was very happy. It's the one thing that is so hard with the Green egg, you can't open it halfway (losing heat) nor is there a window to check how things are going. You sort of have to trust the device to help you out. It takes some getting used to.

Carving of the lamb. The bone came out easy. The meat is almost falling off.

End result: We are still on a diet so I served the lamb with some grilled vegetables. Everything was well prepared and tasted great. We have some lamb left for tomorrow's leftovers :) I think this dish was the simplest dish I ever made on the egg, all it needed was time but the end result was delicious.

A ton of garlic ...; sleeping back to back tonight I guess? lol

I still can't get over that butcher shop. That is the real deal. I noticed in your picture it said "since 1796", wow, that is really cool.

The lamb shoulder looked incredible and from your first picture it looked like the meat would fall off the bone. The marinade Bianca made sounds really good and we'll have to try it. I bought a roaster a couple of years ago that I do pork butts, ribs and whole chickens in, and the drippings get really messy, I'll have to try it in a glass dish the way you did the lamb shoulder. Great idea and very practical.

Glad you're back on Steemfat man. You're doing a great job and it's really inspiring. You've done a lot of amazing videos, but the one you did earlier really resonated with me. Very inspiring! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday brother!

Yeah, it is amazing there! Carnivore heaven. It's also possible to make a basket from aluminum foil, but this is just easier. Steemfat is in full effect!

We haven't seen the green egg for a couple of days so I'm glad that it has returned haha

This butcher must definitely be the gates of heaven. The cuts of meat they have look so good. It is sad to see people don't eat shoulder much but at least that makes it cheap for people like you to buy.

The colouration is so prepossessing. It looks so tasty my mouth is just watering just looking at it. Great to see you had it with some vegetables.

So satisfying to see it coming off the bone so easily. So succulent and juicy it looks like it just melts in your mouth with how easy it was for you to cut it.

I'll definitely have a go with that marinate. I've never tried that combination before but it seems like it works out pretty well.

Despite the fact you only had a small portion at least you have some for tomorrow. Well I'm glad you enjoyed your meal @exyle! :)

I'm going to eat the rest when I done all my replies :)

this lamb looks so delicious, but you are evil - Bianca trying to weight loss and you buy so big and delicious meat ))) after this kind of video/photos i want to eat

Haha we just shared half of it, and didn't repeat!

Being on a diet doesn't mean you have to eat bad food :)

You are a masterchef :)

Looks amazing! Loving the videos as well!

Oh my!!! That looks so good! I've always been jealous of your green egg. I want one! But they are very expensive in Norway.

Thanks! Truth be told they are also extremely expensive here :)

Shoulder is the best part of lamb, very tender and juicy...looks insanely delicious . Totally deserve my 100% upvote....
