Ingredients for Rosemary and Thyme Braised Lamb Shoulder

• 1 (6-pound) bone-in lamb shoulder roast, tied

• 1 large head garlic, separated into cloves (about 12), peeled

• 1 1/2 cucharadas de sal kosher

• 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

• Pimienta negra recién molida

• 60ml de aceite de oliva virgen extra

• 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary plus 1 sprig

• 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme plus 5 sprigs

• 475ml dry white wine

• 475ml de agua

• 2 cucharadas de harina común

• 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary

• 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme

• a heavy 6 1/2 - 6.6L nonreactive heavy pot with a tight fitting lid, or a heavy-duty nonreactive roasting pan with heavy-duty foil

Make slits in lamb shoulder all over at 2-inch intervals with a paring knife.

Pound garlic with kosher salt, zest, and 1/2 teaspoons black pepper to a coarse paste with mortar and pestle (or mince and mash with a large knife), then stir together with oil and 1 tablespoon each of rosemary and thyme. Rub paste all over lamb. Put in heavy pot or roasting pan, then chill, covered, 12 to 24 hours.

Bring roast to room temperature (about 1 hour).

Precalienta el horno a 177°C con la rejilla en el tercio inferior.

Pour wine and water around lamb and add herb sprigs. Cover roast with a sheet of parchment. Cover pot with lid or cover roasting pan tightly with heavy-duty foil. Braise lamb in oven until tender but not falling off the bone, about 3 hours.

Increase oven to 232°C and remove parchment, then braise lamb, covered with lid (or foil), until very tender and top is browned, about 1 hour more. Carefully transfer lamb to a platter and loosely cover with foil. Let it stand 10 minutes.

Pour braising liquid through a fine-mesh sieve, then spoon off and discard fat remaining on liquid (you should have about 475ml liquid; reserve pot). Whisk together flour and 240ml liquid in a small bowl until smooth. Bring remaining liquid to a boil in uncleaned pot, then whisk in flour mixture and boil, whisking, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Stir in thyme and rosemary and season with salt and pepper.

Remove and discard strings. Meat is too tender to slice with a carving knife; use a meat fork to pull meat into serving pieces.
