    Heat 1/4 cup (60ml) oil in a large flameproof baking dish over high heat. Add lamb and cook, turning halfway, for 6 minutes or until browned. Add stock and bring to the boil. Cover tightly with foil and transfer to oven. Roast for 4 hours or until very tender.

    Remove lamb from oven and transfer to a baking tray lined with baking paper. Increase oven to 200°C. Brush lamb with maple glaze, return to oven and roast, brushing with glaze every 10 minutes, for a further 30-40 minutes or until browned and sticky.
