Dutch oven lemon roasted lamb shoulder with potatoes 🍋.

Happy Father’s Day! ❤️ We intended to have a bbq to celebrate today though weather seems to have other plans. So a lamb roast, it is!

How are you celebrating μπαμπά (dad) today?

This recipe also works great with lamb leg and works just as well with a baking tray tightly covered with aluminium foil.

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C. In your Dutch oven add the olive oil along with the onion and garlic. Sauté for approximately 2 minutes before adding the white wine. Allow the alcohol from the wine to cook off for a minute and then add the stock cube or paste, oregano and the lemon juice. Add salt and plenty of pepper.

Pour in the water and place the lamb shoulder into the pot. Spoon liquid over any exposed pieces of lamb. Cover and place the pot in the oven for approximately one 2 hours.

After approximately 2 hours, remove pot and check the lamb is beginning to soften then add the potatoes around the lamb. Place the lid back on and cook for an additional 30 mins or until potatoes are cooked through. Squeeze some extra lemon and enjoy!

 roll lately but I seriously can’t help it. I’m working my way through the cookbook and still have 4 recipes bookmarked for this week. We were supposed to have company tonight so I made the base and filling last night but then the company cancelled leaving us with a whole pie😳 After successfully slicing and inhaling the first piece words can’t really describe how damn good this is. I toasted the coconut last night (twice actually cause I got distracted the first time😏) and sprinkled on top of the coconut whip. IF you’re not a coconut fan, don’t bother with this one BUT if you love coconut (cause it has coconut in all its forms in the pie) stop what you’re doing and look this recipe up or better yet just go buy the cookbook. You won’t be disappointed. I promise💛 Now, I’m going for a walk so I can eat more pie😜

 So I know I’ve been on a bit of a @thefirstmess  roll

I don’t eat potatoes nearly enough and now that I’ve found this recipe for salt and vinegar smashed potatoes with garlic aioli I may never stop😆 If you haven’t picked up

When you’re ordered to take a prescription with food😏 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼I had a copious amount of bananas so I thought it was beyond necessary to make these muffins. Without exaggeration these are the best muffins I’ve ever had.

 chocolate banana pecan muffins.... recipe is spot on. At the urging of my mister and my mom I went to the doc cause no other avenue was helping. I guess rest is my only choice... To all the teachers who came to bat for me this week a huge heartfelt THANK YOU.. Now excuse me while I eat a dozen muffins... .

There’s been a lot of kiwi in my feed so.... Did you know that the skin of the kiwi is completely edible and that eating the skin triples the fibre intake and preserves much of the vitamin c content making this nutrient dense fruit even more nutritious? Me neither! Thanks Mr Google.. .

What are you making for NEW YEARS EVE? I am sooooo pleased to introduce my Tempura Fried Oyster Mushrooms. They are really easy to make and have that wow factor you may be looking for. Get ready to impress your damn self!!!

💫I only had olive oil so I put approximately 1 cup of oil in a small deep sided pot. Heated over medium high heat. To test, drop a tsp of batter in the pot. If it sizzles, you’re ready to go. Turn heat down slightly. Dredge mushrooms into batter, shake off any excess. Place into pot and fry on all sides until golden brown. Place on cooking rack with paper towel underneath to drain.

 What are you making for NEW YEARS EVE? I am sooooo pleased

It’s been WAY too long since I have made a bowl and yesterday seemed like the perfect day to build one. Still nursing my calf but hope to be back in business SOON.

The key to eating a plant based diet is variety. If you’re always eating the same thing you’ll be bored to tears. Branch out, instagram is FULL of inspo. Keep trying different recipes. Happy Thursday!
