Hello. Dont know if this is the right place to post this but you all seem to have great cooking skills.
Just bought a massive bag of meat from my butchers and didnt want 2 joints of pork so i got 1 lamb and 1 pork.
The lamb seems abit meat less and ii dont know what to do with it. im not great at carving or chopping so i was planning on just dumping it in the oven and ameture carve it.
any ideas? i dont have a slow cooker just an oven.
Thank you in advance.

lamb, depends on joint of course, but if it seems "meatless" it may well be the fat is hiding the meat, luckily lamb fat renders down to dripping in the oven, so bung it in, covered in tin foil on a low heat, like gas 2 for a few, maybe 3 or 4, hours, it is not time critical, the longer the better really

Do you know what joint of lamb you have? Shoulder is fab roasted slowly in the oven, then no carving involved-just use a spoon! I use a HFW meat book recipe-30mins @230,then turn down to 140, add glass white wine, sliced spuds and onions (1kg of each) garlic and some water, then cover with foil and roast for another 4 hours.
Take lamb out of oven, crank heat up and brown the spuds and onions for 15-20 mins while lamb rests. It is DELICIOUS!

mmm they sound gorgeous. it looks like the rib part. i know its not its shoulder or leg. i was just so overwhelmed at the amount and price i was just chucking everything in with out looking. would you recommend red onions or white onions because lamb does tend to be a sweeter meat sometimes?

just been looking on internet, i think its a short saddle cut
