 Chef Benjamin Smith

Eat My Street recently had the pleasure of meeting Chef Benjamin from Forest Edge Restaurant in Gembrook.

He was kind enough to share his favourite recipe with us.

Wet Roasted Lamb Shoulder by Chef Benjamin Smith.

Ben likes to cook this at Christmas and will put the lamb in the oven in the morning before work so that it is ready to be served when he arrives home that afternoon.

Serve it with mograbeih, sultanas and almond salad.

Here it is.
