Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 140°C. Place the lamb on a clean work surface. Sprinkle with paprika. Use a small sharp knife to cut twelve 2cm-deep slits in the surface. Push a garlic slice, oregano sprig and rosemary sprig into each cut. Season well.

  2. Step 2

    Place lamb in a large deep roasting pan. Place the white beans around the lamb and cover with stock. Tightly cover with foil. Roast for 4 1/2 hours or until lamb is very tender.

  3. Step 3

    Increase oven to 200°C. Uncover and roast for 20 mins or until lamb is golden brown. Arrange the green beans, tomatoes and olives around the lamb. Roast for a further 10 mins or until beans are tender and tomatoes begin to collapse. Set aside for 10 mins to rest. Sprinkle with extra oregano.
