Friday after work I went to Schell (the best butcher in Rotterdam) to buy something to make in the weekend on the Green Egg.
A friend of mine told me not long ago that I should really try lamb shoulder on the Egg.
I bought a 1.5KG lamb shoulder and roasted it today on the green egg for 4 hours.
It was amazing!
The gates to heaven on earth :)
The lamb shoulder wasn't expensive. 10 euro the kilo.
The piece I bought in an oven dish in my kitchen.
Bianca made a marinate while I lit the Green egg. She used: a ton of garlic, mustard, sugar, smoked paprika, oil, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt. She covered the whole shoulder.
I prepared the green egg for indirect grilling (you can see the convector plate). 150C. Roasting the lamb shoulder without the oven Dish was a mistake. It started to drip a lot. Later I put the shoulder back in the dish.
4 hours later I opened the green egg and saw this. I was very happy. It's the one thing that is so hard with the Green egg, you can't open it halfway (losing heat) nor is there a window to check how things are going. You sort of have to trust the device to help you out. It takes some getting used to.

Carving of the lamb. The bone came out easy. The meat is almost falling off.
End result: We are still on a diet so I served the lamb with some grilled vegetables. Everything was well prepared and tasted great. We have some lamb left for tomorrow's leftovers :) I think this dish was the simplest dish I ever made on the egg, all it needed was time but the end result was delicious.
