Main Course
This roast lamb shoulder with sumac and rosemary is an elegant dinner with very little effort. The lamb is rubbed with lemon juice and olive oil, then pressed with a crust of our organic sumac, rosemary, ground mustard, salt and pepper. Sumac adds a bright, lemony tang that balances the rich meat. Marinate for a few hours, roast and let it rest, then serve with lemon wedges and an extra sprinkle of sumac. Gluten-free, dairy-free and paleo.
Ingredients
- 1 bone-in lamb shoulder (4-5 pounds)
