Ingredients

1 kilogram piece boneless lamb shoulder

6 clove garlic, peeled, halved

2 tablespoon finely chopped coriander root and stem mixture

2 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon each ground coriander and sweet paprika

2 tablespoon olive oil

1 brown onion (150g), sliced thickly

1 cup (250ml) chicken stock

1 cinnamon stick

2 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon quince paste

1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh coriander leaves

Method

Roll and tie lamb with kitchen string at 5cm (2-inch) intervals. Using mortar and pestle, crush garlic, coriander root and stem mixture, spices and half the oil until almost smooth. Rub garlic mixture all over lamb. Cover; refrigerate 2 hours.

Heat remaining oil in large frying pan; cook lamb, until browned all over. Remove from pan. Cook onion in same pan, stirring, until softened.

Place stock, cinnamon and onion mixture in 4.5-litre (18-cup) slow cooker; top with lamb, drizzle with honey. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, covered, on low, 8 hours. Stand lamb 10 minutes; stir quince paste into sauce.

Thickly slice lamb, serve with sauce; sprinkle with chopped coriander.

Cover and refrigerate lamb overnight at the end of step 1, if you like.
