lamb shoulder

Sheep's upper foreleg

Lamb shoulder is a cut of meat from the front leg and shoulder blade area of a lamb.

Tougher and fattier than leg of lamb, it benefits from slow cooking methods like braising or roasting, which break down the connective tissue into tender, flavorful meat: She braised a lamb shoulder with wine and rosemary for Sunday dinner.
