Instructions:
For Preparing the Mutton Shoulder:

- Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil.
- Roast the mutton shoulder in the preheated oven for 4-5 hours or until the meat is tender and easily falls off the bone.
- After the initial roasting time, remove the foil and continue roasting for an additional 30 minutes to allow the shoulder to develop a beautiful golden crust.
