Cooking Method

  • 1
    Preheat the oven to 220C/Fan 200C/425F/Gas Mark 7. Place the pine nuts, basil, garlic and olives on a large board, then use a large sharp knife to chop them all together until you have a rough paste. Season with salt and plenty of ground black pepper.

    Unroll the boned shoulder and place skin side down on a board. Scatter the basil paste over the meat, rubbing it into all the crevices and cut surfaces. Roll up the shoulder of lamb and tie it together with string at regular intervals to make a neat parcel.
  • 3
    Place the lamb in the centre of a large roasting tin. Roast for 10 mins. Reduce the temperature to 180C/Fan 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4 and roast for 40 mins.
