Shoulder of Lamb

Shoulder of lamb is a flavourful roasting joint that’s especially well suited to slow cooking until tender. Available from The Butcher’s Blade in Sandbach, Cheshire, it’s a classic choice for Sunday lunch, family gatherings and hearty weekend meals.

How to cook: Season with garlic, rosemary and black pepper, then roast slowly according to the joint’s weight and the product’s guidance. Rest before carving, or cook until tender enough to pull apart if using a slow-roast method.

Perfect with: Roast potatoes, seasonal greens, mint sauce and gravy. Leftovers can be used in wraps, sandwiches or a shepherd’s pie-style dish.

For a traditional lamb joint from your local Sandbach butcher, shoulder of lamb is a versatile option for relaxed, flavourful cooking.
