1. Braised lamb with celery salsa
Aside from searing the lamb before it goes into the oven, this recipe calls for very little effort on your part. Forget about it for 5 hours and serve alongside salsa and softly boiled potatoes – it’s as simple as that. If the salsa feels like too much work, you can omit it and just scatter some roughly chopped herbs over the top.

2. Pork belly roasted in milk and sage
If pork belly sounds fancy and fiddly, this recipe is here to prove otherwise. Based on the traditional Italian method of braising pork in milk, this dish results in spoon-tender meat, crackly skin and a creamy broth that’s perfect for serving over the suggested (premade) gnocchi, or even mashed potato. If the sticky garlic feels like too much effort, you can just serve roasted garlic on the side (or not at all).

6. Slow roasted Greek-style lamb
The very definition of hands-off, this lamb only requires a little seasoning and a once-over with some cut garlic. If slicing potatoes is too much work, use baby potatoes or roughly chop them into small, bite-sized pieces – they’ll do the trick.
