A beautifully marbled cut, full of flavour. This shoulder has the bone in for extra flavour and is ready to pop in the oven for a Christmas or New Year’s Day family feast.

Description

Slow cooking lamb shoulder allows the fibres of this tougher cut to break down over time, rendering it moist, tender and full of flavour. To get the best out of the meat, it should be roasted or braised at a lower temperature for a long time, this joint has the bone in for added flavour.

Slow roast it right and the meat will just fall from the bone.
