Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 500 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Paprika - 1 tablespoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Water - 250 ml

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
2. In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, black pepper, salt, oregano, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
3. Cut the lamb shoulder into large chunks and add it to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight in the refrigerator.
4. Place the marinated lamb in a deep oven-safe dish or a Dutch oven. Pour in the water and cover tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.
5. Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and cook for about 3 hours, or until the lamb is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
6. Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
7. Serve the lamb hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
