i also done this today, it was amazing!
I too had loads of the stock left over, and i also used it to make gravy.
The meat was soo soft, we barely had to chew it.
I didn't cover mine with foil, was i supposed to? as the recipe didn't say, but it still was amazing.
The top layer of potatoes were a bit hard/crunchy, so i just removed them, the rest were really nice.
Oh and i didn't use as much rosemary as pics above, i just used 1 sprig, with the leaves chopped.
One thing though, the PRICE of lamb
I got it for £8.80 a kilo, the shoulder i used was 1.9kg, so it cost £17, and shoulder is supposed to be a cheap cut.

I want to do this but my family don't like fatty lamb and rosemary!.
Wonder what it's like with leg of lamb and mint instead of rosemary?

I actually prefer mutton to lamb in a lot of dishes. Most lamb in the supermarkets is far too young and doesn't have much of a flavour.

I used to get my lamb from a guy at my rugby club. He is a farmer and would deliver me half a lamb for about £40-£45. It would be butchered and ready for the freezer.
I live a little bit far from him now to get it delivered though. If anyone lives near Lewes in Sussex and want his details let me know. It is good quality meat.

I thought the top layer of potatoes that had gone crisp were one of the best bits. I didn't use any foil either.
I paid something like £10 for the half shoulder of lamb - was £6 or £7 per kg.
The leftovers made a stunning lamb curry

Some of them were nice, until i nearly broke a tooth off one bit.
There were 6 adults eating mine, so there was not much leftover.
That is good in one sense, and bad in another, as i only had enough leftover for a sandwich today. But it was very well liked by everyone.
But this dish, is definitely a winner

looks amazing.
A great way to season slow roast lamb that I found is to stuff it with anchovies. works so so well... well worth a try
