I love this recipe, I substitute lamb shanks for the shoulder, never had a bad result

Hi Kim! The lamb should be shreddable once cooked. Enjoy!

Does this result in ‘carved’ or a ‘fall off the bone’ result?

This is a sensational recipe. I was a little nervous pouring the dressing over the meat as it tasted very sweet on its own but the result was delicious. Super moist and succulent. I served it with a herby quinoa, fetta and pomegranate salad and roasted pumpkin.
