Do something different for a Sunday roast with this Spanish-style slow-cooked lamb and beans. It's so much more than the traditional meat and two veg
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 lamb shoulder (about 3-4 pounds)
- 1 can of white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Direction:
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Season the lamb shoulder generously with salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and oregano. Rub the seasoning into the meat to ensure it is evenly coated.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the lamb shoulder and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until it is nicely browned.
4. Remove the lamb from the pot and set it aside on a plate.
5. In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until they are softened and fragrant.
6. Add the drained and rinsed white beans to the pot, along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
7. Place the lamb shoulder on top of the beans in the pot.
8. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
9. Let the lamb and beans cook for about 3-4 hours, until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
10. Once done, remove the pot from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
11. Use two forks to shred the lamb into smaller pieces (discarding any excess fat).
12. Serve the slow-cooked lamb shoulder and beans in bowls, drizzled with the juices from the pot. Enjoy!
