Lamb Shoulder - new season (ideal for slow cooker)

Tremendous flavour from this economical cut that makes it an ideal slow roast. Great results when cooked in the slow cooker with a little water and rustic vegetables. Also great for Curries, Lamb Hot Pot or Casserole when diced

The Lamb can also be used for Irish Stew although traditionally for this dish, Diced Mutton would be used. Lamb is more tender than Mutton and takes less cooking time.

Lamb in my opinion is at its very best in late Summer and Autumn. The lambs have grazed on the permanent pasture of South Lanarkshire all summer with the meat having more depth of flavour than the earlier new season lamb.
