Rotisserie Lamb Shoulder

If you're ready to take your barbecue game up a bunch of notches, this one's for you. There's already something so satisfying about watching a big cut of meat rotating around on a spit, and this kind of cooking will give you a lamb shoulder that's evenly cooked and mind-blowingly tender. Throw in some basting with herb butter, and you'll have all of your neighbors wondering where and when you went to culinary school. But wait, there's more! What if we told you that the basting brush itself was made of fresh herbs?! Now you're cooking with gas! Literally! After that impressive display, you'll definitely want to make sure your lamb actually turns out well, especially since it's a more expensive meat. While you're keeping your guests entertained to earn your spot as the neighborhood's best host/barbecuer, MEATER does the hard work for you by letting you know how your lamb shoulder is doing and when it's ready to eat. We'll even send you alerts when it's the best time to baste. If you're dropping the money on a nice lamb shoulder, chances are you're doing it because you like the flavor, which means you don't want to distract from it with overwhelming sides or sauces. We recommend serving it with a simple side of fresh vegetables or coleslaw, which you can do à la carte, or in little sandwiches or lamb tacos. Cold beer is a classic at a barbecue, and a citrusy beer like an IPA will be best for balancing out the flavor of the lamb.
