Cooking Healthier with Tom Kerridge: Lamb Shoulder & Greek Salad Recipe

[@Reidy1968]

Shut the front Door !!!! That looks awesome, going to cook that in a few weeks. Great dish Tom !!

[@colinwhewell7049]

I love shoulder of Lamb. At prep time I use a thin bladed (boning Knife) to separate the shoulder blade bone from the meat, all around and then pack in several garlic cloves into the space between the bone and the meat. Of course the meat shrinks back leaving the blade sticking out. As a bit of theater at carving at the table, take a clean tea towel to hold the meat and hold and twist the bone and it will come free of the joint. Then the shoulder can be cut downwards into half inch thick slices. Almost like a steak.

im from wales but now live in crete. the food and style of cooking here is truly amazing, however i miss the wonderful produce that we have in the uk as its genuinely some of the best in the world. in crete we eat whats in season and i think thats the main reason the food is so tasty (and its all local). i really wish we had the same ethics in the uk cos we can more than hold our own on the international stage we just need to celebrate it more. much love to all from crete

Made this last weekend. Yes, it takes a bit of time, but it is so easy to do and requires very little work considering the flavour it delivers. I'll be making it again for definite - the only thing I'd change is I'd leave out the second lemon - maybe it was the lemons I used but it was a wee bit dominant in the finished gravy. Give this a go, you won't be disappointed.

[@rickyforbes1566]

Wow wow wow. Top man Tom. Made this and my wife is Cypriot and we stay in Cyprus and she said this was the best thing she has ever eating and i agree. It was so good. All my 500ml of fluid disappeared right enough but i just added 500ml more and scarped the bottom of the roasting dish. This is a staple in the house now. Thanks Tom.

[@michaelpearson915]

Wow. Yes it looks dry but I cooked this and halved the meat quantity and did likewise with the veggies. It was superb although I restricted the fourth hour foil off portion to 35 mins. Really delicious and perfect. Resting the meat is vital. I’ll follow Tom’s recipes because he’s the best.

Pity we don't see more of you. All your cooking is a celebration of food, especially from the gorgeous foods of the UK, and as you say, not complicated.

[@moonshine68]

No need to cover with foil Tom, to prevent it drying out? Cooking this tomorrow ....

I'm making this tomorrow too. I think because it's being cooked over 2hrs hours at a lower temperature it won't dry out without the foil. I will be making the roast alongside green vegetables and roast potatoes 😋

Lucky me found u today Vola 🎉

[@theofarmmanager267]

My pet hate is dry meat. The way that I think is that roasting for an hour or more must take moisture out. I now never roast meat joints. I always cook them covered in water. I par boil carrots, potatoes, swede or whatever and use that liquid in a large casserole dish together with a part onion, herbs, lemon or whatever and gently simmer. A very large chicken takes about 1.5 hours; a shoulder of lamb about 2 hours but the beauty is that, if you leave it for longer, it doesn’t overcook and go dry. Downsides? If you want crackling, you can cook so far on the joint but then cut off the crackling and roast that; you don’t get that caramelised look on the outside but you can fake it with a kitchen blowtorch for a few seconds. Try it and see for yourself.

[@bizbizley]

Horses for courses. Good quality meat with a decent amount of fat won’t go dry. He roasted it in stock to keep the moisture too so covered all angles. I’m sure it was gorgeous.

[@theofarmmanager267]

@@bizbizley im not doubting the expertise of TK and, truthfully, roasting in stock is not that much different from my preferred method. You’re absolutely right about the fat content although fatty meat is still frowned upon by many. We eat a lot of chicken and therefore, fat is in short supply.

[@mitp2514]

Going to make this in couple of days can't wait.. You mentioned on your description to cover up with foil but you never used foil in the video.. Is it necessary or you can leave it out.

[@adamedkins3210]

Hi Tom, I’m going to try this this week, would you ever cook it covered in a large casserole dish or leave it open?

[@alias7888]

Looks absolutely delicious, Tom! I've got a leg of lamb in the freezer...would this work instead of shoulder?

[@britishmurders]

Leg is a much leaner cut of lamb so the cooking time and temperature is different. Shoulder is the low and slow cut of the two. So to answer your question, this method for a lamb leg wouldn’t work.

I'd be interested to know the size of that shoulder. I'm guessing in terms of cooking time, you'd reduce accordingly depending on the size/weight? It looks sensational and I'm definitely going to give it a go!

Happily eat that caveman style straight from the roasting tin. What beers do you serve in your boozers/ restaurant to go with this. Sorry about the long message, you bowled me over with this one.

[@georgeioskay2022]

Tzatziki is not meant to be made with mint!!!!! Its to be made with dill and a shitload of garlic

[@martinderbyshire1286]

Tzatziki is the Greek word for Jajik, taken from the Ottoman times, just like Dolmades/Dolma. Hence the word itself uses the dipthong 'tz' to create the sound as it is not a natural Greek sound. Having lived in Greece, (Athens and Halkidiki), and Cyprus (North and South), I can say with confidence that the 2 dishes are made in many subtlely different ways in Greece, Turkey and throughout the Persian world. Dill and mint are interchangeable, as is the consistency of the cucumber. Agree 100% about shitloads of garlic though!

[@lex4089]

I love Tom. I love listening to his passion. Why you put this god awful soundtrack in the background is anyone's guess. Really spoils the video.

[@kevinjohnson4039]

I just made it and off the bat I have to say the lemon is too overpowering. The lamb has a hint of sharpness to it and the vegetables are overpowered by that sharpness. I can't give it to my kids because I know they won't like it. Will try the recipe again but minus the lemon, should come out perfect.
