Method
Preheat the oven to 220°C, gas mark 7. Lightly crush the spices in a pestle and mortar; transfer to a bowl with the oil and salt. Put the lamb in a large roasting tin, then rub all over with the spiced oil and roast for 20-25 minutes until browned. Remove from the oven; reduce the heat to 160°C, gas mark 3.
Add the garlic, onions and lamb stock to the tin. Use a large sheet of baking parchment topped with two layers of foil to cover and seal the tin. Roast for 3 hours 30 minutes. Check the liquid hasn’t dried out; add a little hot water if needed. Cook for 2 hours 30 minutes more until the meat is falling off the bone.
Remove from the oven, loosely cover with foil and allow to rest for 20 minutes. Shred the lamb and serve with the cooking juices drizzled over.
