A slightly unusual take on the term “batch cook” this week. Usually we think of batch cooks as braised, slow cooked meals. However this one require you to do nothing more than stick a shoulder of lamb or pork into the oven and forgetting about it for 6 hours as you work from home. If you don’t have six hours, it is equally delicious with a steak or pork fillet medallions charred on a frying pan and until crusty on the outside and still juicy in the middle. The soft tender (slightly fatty) meat drizzles with this pungent Argentinian sauce is the batch cook dinner of your dreams. Pair it simply with a baked potato (McCains are always in my freezer) or a pack of microwave baby potatoes and a handful of green leaves and sweet tomatoes. Divine!

This recipe is a riff on about 5 different versions I have tested over the last while. We are normally a chicken fillet house but there is something so good about chicken thighs in this because of the skin and the bone. Think of them like a big chicken wing!
