4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
20 whole garlic cloves, peeled

Preheat oven to 300 F/ 150\u00b0C.
Make small incisions in the lamb and put a sliver of garlic inside each incision.
Rub the lamb well with the olive oil and season all over with the salt and pepper.
Place it in a Dutch oven and add the sliced onions, whole carrots, whole garlic cloves, bouquet garni and wine.
Put the lid on the Dutch oven.
In a medium bowl combine the flour and water to form a rough dough, mixing well with a wooden spoon. (Don't worry you don't have to eat it).
Use the dough like grout to create a seal that connects the lid to the Dutch oven.
Place in the oven and cook for 7 hours.
Remove from the oven and break the seal.
Serve.
