Pan-Seared Lamb Shoulder with Lemon & Thyme

Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best. Just a good cut of lamb shoulder, butter, garlic, thyme, and a little lemon zest — that’s all it takes to make something special. Juicy, aromatic, and perfect alongside your favorite salad.

Ingredients:

• 1 piece of lamb shoulder
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 garlic cloves
• A little bit of fresh thyme
• Salt & pepper to taste

Method:

1. Add butter and olive oil to a pan and let the butter melt.
2. Smash garlic cloves and add them to the pan. Fry for 30 seconds to release aroma.
3. Add the lamb shoulder. Fry for 2 minutes on each side, basting with the melted butter and oil.
4. Halfway through, sprinkle salt, pepper, lemon zest, and add thyme.
5. Once golden on the outside and juicy inside, remove from the pan.
6. Serve immediately with your favorite salad.
