Roasted Greek lamb shoulder is a dish often served at Easter. It\u2019s so easy to make and incredibly delicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dish itself doesn\u2019t require much work, but it does need slow cooking for flavourful, juicy meat that melts in your mouth, along with a creamy and divine sauce. For the herbs, you need nothing complicated: garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, and lemon. This blend goes perfectly with lamb and adds wonderful flavour.
You might be wondering why I chose to share this roasted Greek lamb shoulder recipe with you. The answer is simple: we decided to spend our holidays in Greece again, and it was magnificent. A couple of years ago, we spent a few days in Santorini, the jewel of the Cyclades, known for its villages in the colors of the Greek flag, its windmills, and its blue-domed churches, and 11 days in Naxos\u2014oh, Naxos, my favorite island! I talk about it HERE<\/a>. It was a dream vacation.
Do you know the movie \u201cEAT, PRAY, LOVE\u201d starring Julia Roberts? Well, that\u2019s exactly what we did, but in our own way: BEACH, EAT, SLEEP & REPEAT. It was truly what I needed.
Below are some photos taken during my stay in Santorini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
