- Drizzle the lamb with the oil, season with salt and pepper and rub in well.
- To make the braised fennel and onions, place the fennel and onions in a large roasting tin. Dot with the butter and pour over the stock.
- Place the lamb directly on the middle shelf of the oven. Put the fennel and onion tray on the shelf below to catch the lamb juices as it cooks. Roast for 2–3 hours, until the meat is tender and the fennel and onions are soft.
