About The Cut
Lamb Shoulder
Lamb shoulder is one of the most flavourful and versatile cuts of lamb, perfect for slow cooking and hearty dishes. Taken from the forequarter, lamb shoulder is a well-exercised muscle with generous marbling, connective tissue, and a rich, slightly gamey flavour that intensifies with long cooking times. We love using lamb shoulder in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes, where herbs, spices, and slow cooking bring out the best in this cut!
Owton’s Top Tips!
Our Shoulder of Lamb on the Bone (2 x 500g) is a classic slow-roasting cut, packed with flavour and perfect for relaxed, comforting meals. Cooking it on the bone helps lock in moisture while the natural marbling keeps the meat beautifully tender as it roasts.
For best results, cook low and slow. Roast at 160°C for 2.5 to 3 hours with garlic, rosemary and a splash of stock or wine. The meat should pull away easily from the bone when it’s ready, full of rich, savoury flavour.
Serve with crispy roast potatoes, seasonal greens and a spoonful of mint sauce for a traditional roast. In warmer months, shred the meat and serve in flatbreads or wraps with yoghurt and salad for something a little lighter.
Keep chilled and use within a few days, or freeze on arrival for later.
Bone-in lamb shoulder delivers deeper flavour and extra succulence during roasting. The bone helps conduct heat evenly and releases natural juices that enhance the richness of the meat.
Roast at 160°C for approximately 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the meat is tender and pulling away from the bone. For extra depth of flavour, marinate overnight and baste occasionally while cooking.
Yes, each 500g joint is designed as a generous single portion, especially with the bone in. Two joints will comfortably serve two people, making it perfect for romantic dinners or small Sunday roasts.
Classic pairings include rosemary roast potatoes, mint sauce, honey-glazed carrots, and seasonal greens. For something different, try with Middle Eastern-style couscous, yogurt dressing, and pomegranate seeds.
