Gordon Ramsay's Slow Cooked Lamb Shoulder

Ingredients

To make this delicious dish, you will need a few ingredients. First, you will need one 4-pound lamb shoulder, cut into cubes. You will also need 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 6 cloves of garlic, minced, 2 cups of chicken broth, 1 cup of dry white wine, 1 tablespoon of tomato paste, 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 1 bay leaf. Lastly, you'll need salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions

First, you will want to season the lamb cubes with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add in the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add in the seasoned lamb cubes, and brown them on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once the cubes are browned, transfer them to a slow cooker. In the same skillet, add the garlic, thyme, and oregano, and cook for about 1 minute. Add in the chicken broth, white wine, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, honey, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes. Pour the sauce over the lamb cubes in the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Serving

Once the lamb is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker, and shred it with two forks. Discard the bay leaves, and then pour the sauce from the slow cooker over the shredded lamb. Serve the lamb over rice or mashed potatoes, and garnish with fresh parsley.
