Slow Roast shoulder of Lamb with Pomegranate Molasses

Slow Roast shoulder of Lamb with Pomegranate Molasses

Lamb is a bit of a treat for us. This managers offer made our lump of shoulder just about affordable at a little short of £4. The same sized piece is over £13 today! So Lamb calls for something a bit special, by way of a recipe…..

100ml of Pomegranate Molasses
100ml of Water
2 Onions, thickly sliced
3 Cloves of Garlic, finely sliced
Salt & Pepper to season

(1) Cut slits in the Lamb and insert some of the sliced Garlic.
(2) Pour over 50ml of the Pomegranate Molasses and allow to marinade in the fridge for 2 hours.
(3) Place the Onions and remaining Garlic in an oven proof dish and pre-heat the oven to 150c.
(4) Sit the Lamb on top.
(5) Season with Salt & Pepper and pour over the remaining Pomegranate Molasses, rubbing it into the Lamb.
(6) Add the Water and cover.
(7) Cook for 2 ½ hours.
(8) Remove the Lamb and set aside.
(9) Skim the fat from the surface and add the juices to a large pan.
(10) Allow to simmer and then return the Lamb.

Bean & Beef Burger

We generally just add Salt & Pepper to our Beef when we make a Monster Burger. But we’ve become fans of Rosecoco Beans recently and thought we’d have a play. Soaked, boiled and roasted they are very versatile. So….

Ingredients:-

100g Rosecoco beans, soaked in water over night
250g Minced Beef
Salad, Tomatoes, sliced Gherkins etc.
Cheese
Gluten free DIY bun
DIY Thousand Island Dressing

Realistically the recipe is more about the Burger than the other fillings, add whatever you fancy.

Burger Method:-

(1) Boil your Rosecoco beans in salted water for 20 minutes and drain.
(2) Add to an oven traywith a little Oil and Salt and roast at 180c until they are crispy.
(3) Set aside to cool on kitchen paper.
(4) Blitz in a food processor to a reasonably fine consistency.
(5) Mix the Bean crumb with your mince by hand.
(6) Form into burgers to suit the shape of your bun.
(7) Grill your burgers and gently flip until cooked through.
(8) Assemble your Monster Burger.

The roasted Beans added a great Peanut taste to the burger and effectively doubled the volume. Because the Beans are high in protein they also work well as a binding agent.
