Ingredients
- 1.5 kg lamb shoulder, bone-in
- salt and pepper, to season
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ lemon, juice
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 6 brown onions, peeled and quartered
- 1 head garlic, halved horizontally
- 24 small flour tortillas, to serve
- 2 cups tzatziki, to serve
Mint sauce
- 1 small red onion, very finely diced
- ½ cup loosely packed mint leaves, shredded
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- ½ lemon, juice
- 2 tbsp hot water
Horiatiki salsa
- 4 tomatoes, finely diced
- 2 cucumbers, finely diced
- ½ green capsicum, finely diced
- 2 tsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 150 g feta
- ½ tsp dried oregano
Instructions
- Season the lamb shoulder well with salt and pepper and rub with the olive oil, lemon juice and dried oregano. Place in a dish, cover with a lid or aluminium foil and refrigerate overnight if time permits.
- Preheat the oven to 175ºC.
- Scatter the onions and garlic in a baking dish with a lip or lid and add 250 ml (1 cup) water. Place the lamb on top, cover tightly with foil or a lid and roast for 4 hours or until meltingly tender, removing the foil or lid in the last hour of cooking to brown the lamb and onions.
- For the mint sauce, combine the ingredients together and allow to stand for 10 minutes before serving.
- For the horiatiki salsa, place all the ingredients in a bowl except the feta and oregano and season well. Toss to combine, then crumble over the feta and scatter with oregano.
- Wrap the tortillas in foil in stacks of 6 (or brown baking paper secured with string if you want to look fancy) and heat in the oven for 20 minutes.
- To serve, transfer the lamb to a serving dish and pour over the onions, garlic and cooking juices. Serve with the onion, salsa, mint sauce, tortillas and tzatziki.
