6 Medium sized banana shallots, peeled and halved
1 Garlic bulb, cut in half across the middle
4 Sprigs oregano

Process
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
Pour the oil in a large oven-proof pan; add the shallots, garlic, oregano, bay, salt and pepper.
Trim the lamb and cut into 10–12 large chunks. Place in a bowl, squeeze over the lemon juice and season with the salt and pepper. Arrange the lamb and squeezed lemon quarters on top of the shallots and pour over the stock. Cover with a tight fitting lid and cook in the oven for 3–3 ½ hours until tender, basting the lamb with the juices occasionally.
