Total: 2 hours and 15 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

2 pounds lamb shoulder, boneless
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, juiced
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper to create a spice rub.
Rub the spice mixture all over the lamb, making sure to coat it well.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat.
Add the lamb and sear on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes per side.
Remove the lamb from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet with the lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Add the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
Return the lamb to the skillet, cover with a lid or foil, and transfer to the preheated oven.
Roast for about 2 hours or until the lamb is tender and can be easily pulled apart with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the spiced roast lamb with your choice of sides.
