Winter still had its grip on London when we stepped into The Cinnamon Club. How lovely then, to be greeted with a warm welcome in the shape of smiling staff and two elegant cinnamon bellinis.
The recipe uses shoulder of Welsh Lamb which is a highly versatile cut - perfect as a whole or halved into a neat roasting joint and, if slowly-roasted, the meat will literally fall off the bone.
2kg boneless shoulder of Welsh lamb
6 tsp Ras el Hanout spice mix
1 tbsp olive oil
Freshly milled salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 190°C, gas mark 5, 375°F. Combine the spice mix with the olive oil and spread over the surface of the lamb, then season with salt. Place the lamb on a rack in a roasting tin and cover the top of the meat loosely with a square of foil (to stop the crust from burning) before placing it into the pre-heated oven. Roast for 2 hours, then remove from the oven onto a warmed plate, cover and rest for 30 minutes. Carve into thick slices and serve.
