    I'd be interested to know the size of that shoulder. I'm guessing in terms of cooking time, you'd reduce accordingly depending on the size/weight?
    It looks sensational and I'm definitely going to give it a go!

    im from wales but now live in crete. the food and style of cooking here is truly amazing, however i miss the wonderful produce that we have in the uk as its genuinely some of the best in the world. in crete we eat whats in season and i think thats the main reason the food is so tasty (and its all local). i really wish we had the same ethics in the uk cos we can more than hold our own on the international stage we just need to celebrate it more. much love to all from crete

    I love Tom. I love listening to his passion. Why you put this god awful soundtrack in the background is anyone's guess. Really spoils the video.

    Cant get over how trim Tom is…….He looks HUNGRY…and lucky he is in a job where he could (potentially) do something about it…😬😬😬

    Great efford sir, as a greek i am fully accustomed to this taste, but that does not look like a greek salad, no offense.

    Liked Tom then I saw him on the great British menu, turned from a guy you want to hang out with to Simon cowell of the reality chef shows

    Don't cut the lamb it dries it out and also don't add chicken stick it changs the flavour roo much just a bit of water with lemons and cover the lamb it will cook better that wat with the flavour of its fat locked in

    what an absolutely incredible recipe. I'm drooling over this. I'm so excited to try it out

    I am so glad I found you on Youtube. I was drip fed on Broadcast TV Cooking Channels but now I can enjoy your inspiration whenever I want (which is usually about meal times ;-)) I have several of your books and revel in their receipts. You are looking very svelte these days so kudos to your courage to change everything but your fabulous talent for cooking and educating the rest of us. Cheers!

    OK, I got everything I need in this video, tomorrow I will cook it, try my best 👌 at least thank you Tom, amazing how you easy it seems 😊

  27. Irisheyes

    I was going to subscribe, but it looks like you’ve not posted anything in over a year! 😏 I’m going to give this lamb recipe a go though 😋

    Sorry, but much overcooked. You have nice veggys, but the meat, looks dry. You just have fibers , no juicy meat.

    If you haven't used this method before…. don't waste another shoulder doing any other way. It's Lamb shoulder but like nothing else you have had before. It's probably my 10th this way and it's just perfect. Thanks TK

  31. Tee Bryson

    Got to love it when the recipe in the video doesn’t match up with the printed recipe accompanying it. Only one lemon, no bay leaves? Big differences. I’m going to try it tonight. Hopefully it works out

    why do I never put halloumi in the oven? I always fry it in a dry pan or BBQ it…. well that's all about to change

  34. Jack Walker

    Did he use a fat free lamb.. when ever i cook lamb it passes out lots of fat.. he did not mention it at all… all that veg , in all that fat

  39. Ricky Forbes

    Wow wow wow. Top man Tom. Made this and my wife is Cypriot and we stay in Cyprus and she said this was the best thing she has ever eating and i agree. It was so good. All my 500ml of fluid disappeared right enough but i just added 500ml more and scarped the bottom of the roasting dish. This is a staple in the house now. Thanks Tom.

    The recipe says cover with foil before putting it in the oven for 3 hours. Why didn't Tom follow the recipe?
