Recipe: Sam Mannering’s rolled roasted lamb shoulder with Moroccan flavours, pomegranate and Israeli couscous

Sometimes I think we need to be reminded how lucky we are with our produce. Our lamb is incredible. I very rarely get gushy, but this time I’m going to make an exception. Recently, I was fortunate enough to go to Turakina near Whanganui to spend a day with the farmers who make up the Coastal Spring Lamb co-op. The very next day, they won top honours at the NZ Food Awards.
