The history of lamb shoulder roast dates back to ancient times, with the dish being a staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Renowned chefs like Yotam Ottolenghi and Jamie Oliver have popularized this succulent and flavorful roast, often infusing it with aromatic herbs and spices. In regions like Greece and Morocco, the dish is a centerpiece of festive gatherings, showcasing the rich culinary traditions of these areas. The key to a perfect lamb shoulder roast lies in the slow cooking process, allowing the meat to become tender and juicy.
