Slow cooked lamb recipes
Lamb, especially lamb shoulder, really benefits from low and slow cooking to transform it into an utterly tender and unctuous dish. And bonus - you can bung it on ahead of time and get on with other things.

A traditional Mexican barbacoa is cooked in a hole in the ground, the meat wrapped in agave leaves and left to cook slowly for around 12 hours. Every region has its own way of making it; these barbacoa lamb tacos are from Sinaloa, in the north of Mexico. Barbacoa is often eaten at the weekend for breakfast: in Mexico people can buy it from restaurants that specialise in this dish. It is also made for special occasions.
