Ingredients

Tilted Brush Stroke

Combine the salt and seasonings in a small bowl. Rub the seasoning mix all over the lamb, rubbing it into the meat.

Tilted Brush Stroke

Heat 1 Tbsp oil until hot but not smoking in a large oven-safe pan or roasting pan (I use an  enamel-coated dutch oven). Place the lamb, fat-side down into the pan and sear for about 3 mins.

Tilted Brush Stroke

Turn the lamb over, scattering the onion pieces and garlic cloves underneath. Pour 1/2 cup water into the pan and cover tightly (use a lid or tightly wrapped foil).

Remove the lid and allow the lamb to roast for one more hour, uncovered. The lamb should be well-browned and fall off the bone tender at the end of the hour.

You don’t need to caramelize the shredded lamb, but it does add texture and chew to the tacos.
