Title: Braised Shoulder Of Lamb With Anchovies And Rosemary
Categories: Scottish, Lamb
Yield: 1 Batch

1 tb Extra virgin olive oil
4 lb Whole shoulder of lamb on
-the bone (1.8 kg)
2 cl Garlic (fat); peeled and
-chopped
3 Rosemary stalks; up to 4,
-leaves removed and chopped
3 1/2 oz Red wine vinegar (100 ml)
8 Anchovy filets; up to 10,
-finely snipped
Salt and freshly ground
-black pepper

Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F. Heat the oil in a large
casserole dish then brown the meat all over. Remove the meat and add
the garlic and rosemary. Stir well then add the vinegar. Bubble on
high heat for a minute or so then add 150 ml / 1/2 c cold water and
bring to a boil. Season then return the meat to the pan. Baste then
cover: either with a lid not quite firmly on or with a short sheet of
double foil (leaving a couple of inches uncovered). The space allows
the liquid to evaporate.

Cook in the oven for about 2 hours, basting a couple times. Then
remove the cover and add the anchovies to the liquid, stir well (they
dissolve into the sauce) and return to the oven. Increase the heat to
200°C / 400°F for a further 30 to 40 minutes, or until the lamb is
tender and the sauce bubbling. Stir and taste the sauce, seasoning to
taste if necessary. Carve and serve with sauce and vegetables.

Notes:

Serve with roast potatoes and a green vegetable.
