Method
- In a large bowl, rub the lamb shoulder with cumin, chipotle sauce, smoked paprika, and green chillies. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and leave to marinate for 12 hours in the fridge.
- Preheat the warming drawer or gourmet oven dish on Conventional at 95°C for 30 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over high heat, coat with a little oil, and sear the lamb shoulder on all sides until well browned and sealed.
- Transfer the sealed lamb, pre-soaked black beans, marinade juices, and lamb stock into the Miele gourmet oven dish, ensuring the liquid surrounds the meat, then cover tightly with the lid.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven and slow-braise at 95°C for 10–12 hours until the meat is completely tender. While the lamb cooks, combine white wine vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan; bring to the boil, then pour directly over the sliced red onions, garlic clove, and peppercorns in a heatproof jar. Leave to infuse for a minimum of 1 hour.
- The lamb is ready when it is falling apart; remove from the oven and use two forks to pull the shoulder into shreds, mixing it thoroughly with the pan juices and tender beans.
- Warm the soft taco shells slightly; spoon a generous portion of the hot pulled lamb mixture directly into the centre of each taco shell.
- Top the tacos with a scatter of pickled onions, crumbled feta cheese, and fresh coriander leaves, then serve immediately.
