Slow Cooked Amelia Park Lamb With Seasonal Veggies

When you entertain, take the pressure off and give yourself plenty of time to perfect the delivery. One of the best go-to dishes is a rustic, slow-cooked lamb—it’s forgiving, full of flavor, and always turns out moist and tender. Cooking meat on the bone adds incredible depth of flavor and extra nutrition as it slowly simmers.

A great hosting tip is to ask friends to bring salads and sides while you focus on creating a show-stopping slow-cooked lamb that you can simply set and forget. It’s the perfect dish for feeding a crowd, especially over the Easter long weekend.

Serve this lamb as part of a shared feast, stuff it into elevated sliders with leafy greens for a larger gathering, or use the leftovers in wraps or a flaky filo parcel with spinach and feta.
