We do this a lot esp if there's a few visitors cos it's absolutely dead easy - 10 minutes preparation, and really tasty.
You need a joint of lamb (or mutton) leg or shoulder about 1kg +, good quality not supermarket or NZ.
Put it in a heavy casserole with 1tablespoon chopped carrot, 2 tbs chopped onion, 1 tbs chopped celery, half bot dry white wine, 2 cloves garlic crushed, sprig of rosemary, 1 1/2 teaspoons juniper berries.
Cook on top of stove very slowly for 3 1/2 hours: 2 hours with lid on +1 1/2 hour with lid off a bit if it needs reducing. Turn every 3/4 hour. Let it settle a bit if you need to degrease it by spooning it off. No hurry about serving - straight off or hang around until it's tepid.
Smells spectacular all the time its cooking what with the berries, rosemary, garlic, wine.
cheers
