Doing a mechoui (Moroccan) lamb shoulder with flat breads, tabbouleh, moussaka, carrot salad. Would usually get it from the butchers but Ocado had a good deal on. Got it delivered yesterday and it's only 1.7kg :( There's 6 of us but ones a veggie, so 5 of us eating it. Reckon we'll do ok? I'm just worried as in my experience lamb shoulder shrinks a fair amount when cooking :o Could go and source some merguez sausages to fill it out perhaps?
 
That'll be absolutely fine considering the side dishes also. Usually 250 g of meat is enough per person assumng there's side dishes to fill the meal out.
 
Cheers. Always good to get a second opinion. Off out to find some of those spinach pastries for a bit more bulk :)
