This slow-roasted lamb shoulder is the kind of dish that makes a meal feel like an occasion. The lamb is cooked low and slow with rosemary, garlic, lemon, white wine and stock until wonderfully tender, while chickpeas are added towards the end to soak up all those rich roasting juices. To finish, a vibrant preserved-lemon, pistachio and mint pesto cuts through the richness with fresh, zesty flavour. Enjoyed this recipe? Tag us @foodandhomesa #cookingwithFH on Instagram!
