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, we’ve taken the bone out to make carving and shredding easier.
