Lamb Shoulder Roast, Raw
Lamb shoulder roast is a flavorful, moderately fatty cut from the upper front leg and shoulder area of the animal, known for its rich marbling and connective tissue that breaks down during slow cooking. This versatile cut provides substantial protein and iron, though its higher fat content compared to leaner cuts like leg of lamb contributes to both its tenderness and calorie density. Typically sold bone-in, it excels when slow-roasted or braised, transforming its initially tough texture into fork-tender meat ideal for hearty dishes.
