Hi moms, I'm looking for a slow cooked lamb recipe to do in a Dutch oven or similar.
I want something that will but super juicy but the lamb will fall of the bone after cooking. Almost like a pulled pork recipe but for lamb.
I tried a new recipe last night - basically covered the lamb in a spicy butter and then put in a rack in the oven for 5 hours. It wasn't great... The lamb fell of the bones but was also very dry and none of the flavours from the butter had penetrated the lamb (even though I put lots of deep knife marks into it).
Any suggestions?
Thank you
I rarely slow cook lamb, but I know it is possible with some cuts. He's an article that explains it better than I can, I'm guessing (possibly including) that the issue is the cut you've chosen...

https://simplehomeedit.com/recipe/perfect-lamb-shoulder/ this is very good, this is even better https://www.recipetineats.com/ultimate-roast-lamb-12-hour-shoulder/ I only ever do a bone in lamb shoulder for a falling apart lamb roast, perfect every time and it reheats great. I always make a Cypriot grain salad and have the lamb with the salad for lunch during the week when I make one

I think garlic butter plugs inserted into the lamb will fix your dryness issue. Or injection. Because lambs don't have much fat on them up stand up to many hours of heat.
Wish I could help. I'm planning on a fast roast with above mentioned plan of attack and lots of olive oil.
A friend sent this to me and I’ve had it saved for ages….

Lamb shanks!! We made these over the weekend. But it's basically the recipe I've used for years. Very good with mashed potato
