• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Place slow-cooked lamb shoulder (including the packet liquid!) in a baking dish (for a 4-person portion, separate the lamb into its two pieces). • Cover with foil, then roast for 25 minutes. • Remove from oven. Uncover, then turn over lamb. • Return to oven, uncovered. Roast until browned and heated through, a further 10-12 minutes.

TIP: If the lamb has a fat layer, turn the fat-side up after removing the foil.

• While the lamb is roasting, place gnocchi in a second baking dish. • Add enough olive oil (2 1/2 tbs for 2 people/ 1/3 cup for 4 people) to coat gnocchi. Season, then bake until crispy, 15-18 minutes . • Remove gnocchi from oven. Add passata, the water, garlic & herb seasoning, chicken-style stock powder, the brown sugar and the butter. Stir to combine. • Return gnocchi to oven to bake until sauce is slightly thickened, 5-8 minutes . • Meanwhile, combine a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil in a medium bowl. Season, then add mixed salad leaves. Toss to coat.
