3) Pour the white wine and chicken stock around the base of the lamb, cover with foil and transfer to the oven to cook for 5 hours checking occasionally that the tin isn’t dry (add a splash more water if needed).
4) Remove lamb to a board (reserve tin), cover the lamb with foil and leave to rest for 30 mins - 1hr.

6) Shred the lamb using two forks, to serve arrange the leaves, asparagus, peas, spring onion and lamb onto a large serving platter, and spoon over the warm dressing.
