How to cook it
- Thaw fully, rub with olive oil and salt, and lay it in a tin with a splash of water and white wine so that it does not dry out.
- Go slowly first: a low oven, 130–150 °C (265–300 °F), for about 1½ hours, turning it once halfway.
- Then brush with oil and raise the heat to 200 °C (390 °F) for some 20 minutes, until the skin is golden and crisp. Stay close; a piece this small burns quickly.
- Lechal is served cooked through. It is done when the blade bone twists loose from the meat.
Potatoes can roast in the same tin. Legs, racks and cutlets are compared on the lamb page.
Questions about shoulder of lechal
Shoulder or leg of lechal?
The shoulder carries more fat and connective tissue, so it stays moist and forgives an extra ten minutes. The leg is the leaner of the two.
Is this a full-size shoulder for a slow Sunday roast?
No. At 500–550 g it is a single portion. For one larger piece to carve, take the 1.6 kg leg of lamb shown below.
What if it arrives damaged or not cold?
Send us photos on WhatsApp within 24 hours and choose between a replacement on the next Thursday dispatch and a refund. The details are under our guarantee.
