Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 500 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 medium, chopped
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Fresh rosemary - 2 sprigs
• Fresh thyme - 2 sprigs
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Water - 250 milliliters

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped onion, paprika, cumin, black pepper, salt, lemon juice, and mix well to create a marinade.
2. Cut the lamb shoulder into large chunks and add it to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
3. Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, place the marinated lamb along with all the marinade, fresh rosemary, and thyme.
4. Pour in the water, cover the pot with a lid, and place it in the preheated oven. Cook for 3 hours or until the lamb is tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.
5. Once cooked, remove the pot from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. Shred the lamb and serve with your choice of Paleo-friendly sides.
