Cooking Big Lumps of Meat

[ailbhe]

We have recently bought, at a bargain price, half a mutton. It came butchered, but some of the lumps are lumpy. the one we're baffled by is 2.2kg of Shoulder Of Mutton On The Bone. It's practically Shoulder Of Mutton Comes On Own Plate.

I assume we can put it in the oven at gas mark 4 or 5 for 20 minutes a pound and 20 minutes over, but has anyone any excellent recommendations?

Jamie Oliver's recipe is ace. It does take over 4 hours, but seriously, it's worth it. And the smell is divine. For a big shoulder, I'd probably cook it longer, but we did our 2kg shoulder for the time suggested in the recipe and it worked fine.

I'd buy another half a lamb purely for the shoulder, to be honest!
