Created as part of our Chef Inspired Kitchens Series by renowned chef, Anna Hansen MBE of the Modern Pantry, this marinated shoulder of lamb is sealed in a Miele Sous Vide Vacuum Sealing Drawer for maximum flavour and then cooked at 85°C for 12 hours in a Miele Gourmet Warming Drawer for succulently tender results. Served with a sweet and tangy gooseberry chutney, it is the perfect dish when entertaining.

For the lamb

Mix all of the ingredients into a bowl until well combined. Smother over the meat, covering well and place in a vacuum bag. Using the Miele Vacuum Sealing Drawer on the highest setting, seal the lamb to lock in the flavour of the marinade and keep refrigerated for 24 hours.
- Remove the lamb from the bag, transfer into a dish that will fit the whole shoulder and cook using the Miele Gourmet Warming Drawer on the highest setting (85°C) for 12 hours.
For the gooseberry chutney
-
Heat the oil in a large pot and fry the panch phoran, fennel and cumin seeds until aromatic.
-
Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes, then add the ginger and garlic and cook for a further 5 minutes. Add the chilli powder, ground coriander, turmeric and gooseberries and mix well.
- Finally add the sugar, water and vinegar, bring to the boil and then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until thick and glossy with a chutney like consistency.
To Serve
- Transfer the lamb to a warm serving dish, gently break apart the meat with a fork or spoon and serve alongside the gooseberry chutney.
