This Butterflied Lamb Shoulder from Mangaroa Farms captures the spirit of the holiday season with a touch of Mediterranean flair. Raised on regenerative pastures, this lamb shoulder is rich, succulent, and full of flavour, bringing quality and sustainability to your festive table.

Ingredients

• 1 butterflied lamb shoulder (Mangaroa Farms regenerative lamb)

• 3–4 sprigs fresh rosemary

• 4 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 lemon, sliced

• 1 tsp chilli flakes (optional, for extra heat)

• Roasted vegetables and feta cheese (as seen in the image)

• Kalamata olives, for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade
   Combine rosemary leaves, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and chilli flakes. Rub this mixture generously over the lamb shoulder.

2. Marinate the Lamb
   Place the lamb in a large dish with lemon slices on top and around it. Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for deeper flavour.

3. Preheat and Roast
   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the lamb on a roasting tray with an assortment of Mediterranean-style vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and aubergine. Roast for about 1.5–2 hours, basting occasionally.

4. Serve with Mediterranean Sides
   Rest the lamb for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with roasted vegetables, crumbled feta, and kalamata olives for a complete Mediterranean-style holiday feast.

This dish showcases Mangaroa Farms’ dedication to quality and sustainability, highlighting the natural depth and essence of regeneratively raised lamb.
