Molí des Racó’s Oven-Roasted Lamb Shoulder, timeless Menorcan cooking

Some dishes belong to Menorca’s emotional recipe book. Molí des Racó’s oven-roasted lamb shoulder is one of those preparations that speaks of family cooking, Sunday meals and the slow, careful way of treating produce that continues to give meaning to traditional gastronomy.

The piece arrives roasted in the oven, with tender meat, just the right amount of fat and a light sauce that gathers all the cooking juices. The side of fried potatoes, simple and familiar, reinforces the popular character of the dish and turns it into a generous, direct and deeply Menorcan proposal. This is lamb shoulder for those seeking home-style flavour, tavern recipes and cooking without unnecessary embellishment.

Located in an old mill in the centre of Es Mercadal, Molí des Racó is a traditional Menorcan restaurant, with island produce and a special sensitivity towards local recipes.
