About Lamb shoulder
Lamb shoulder is meat from the forequarter of a sheep, sold bone-in or boneless as a roast, joint, or smaller pieces. It contains muscle, connective tissue and often a variable layer of fat, giving it a less uniform texture than loin cuts.
It is often roasted or slow-cooked, which can soften connective tissue; smaller pieces may also be braised. The flavour is characteristic of lamb and can be rich. Bone, fat trimming and cooking method influence the edible portion and texture.
