Serves

Cost Per Person

A slow cooked lamb shoulder is one of the most under rated dishes in the world. If you are looking for a tender, mouthwatering meal then this is it. The Greek people have contributed a huge amount to the culinary world and this recipe must be one of the best. It takes a couple of hours to prepare but will provide enjoyment for much longer than that..perfect for the long lunch or dinner party (another thing the Greeks do very well!)
