Four-hour rolled shoulder of lamb with potato & celeriac smash & steamed veggies
Lamb is such a fantastic thing to cook because you can't go too wrong with the cooking time – no matter whether you overcook it or take it out slightly too early, it will still be wicked! Using a rolled shoulder means it will be much easier to carve, so do go for this cut. The celeriac in the potato smash adds an impressive twist. You can prepare the veggies in advance, stacking them in the different compartments of a steamer, ready to go.
