    @canefan @Hooroo can you both please stop talking about lamb shoulders!!! The 2x supermarkets here have none, it's killing me.

    I did grab a pork shoulder, which I'll do in the next day or 2. I'll do that over a few hours, usually comes out pretty good, though I've never managed to get the gravy right, it's always too oily. Maybe I need to spend longer skimming it, I dunno.

    Bro! Go to Neatmeat. I think they are open. They will do you a great south island lamb shoulder

    Closed

    I walked past my local butcher the other night. He was furiously boning out carcasses - and making the meat into sausages and burgers for the freezer as far as I could see.

    Picked up a nice lamb shoulder to cook over the weekend - any suggestions? Thinking of a slow braise maybe, with a roast carrot salad of some description (have an excess of carrots).

    Last night made the recipe that I believe has the greatest disparity between effort and 'wow' factor. Salmon poached in a soy broth. Any moron could do this, almost impossible to screw up, yet it tastes amazing and people think you are a genius.

    Pretty healthy too with some rice and asian greens on the side. I recommend.

    Fellas, if anyone has a favorite recipe, send it through. Lockdown inspiration needed, lots of time on my hands!

    Must be able to be cooked in a conventional kitchen or on a webber bbq. Kitchen has oven, Le Crueset dutch oven, electric slow cooker.

    What have you guys got?

    A small shoulder of lamb in Dutch oven. Add stone in green olives (pressed/squeezed) a lime cut in half, hard herbs like thyme or rosemary a couple of whole chillies chopped in half and a cup of white wine or Rose.

    Cover and cook low and slow

    @barbarian

    I swear by this

    i have a really basic one, where you rub the shoulder in oil, season, and load up with garlic and rosemary. Cover it in foil, stick it in the oven on 150 for 4 hours. pull it out, rest it, serve. Never fails to taste good.

    If you want to fancy it up a bit, rub it in a mix of yoghurt, cumin, chilli, coriander seeds, paprika, ginger and garlic. Stick in the fridge for 4 hours. then cook exactly as above.

    I love lamb shoulder

    Not impressed with their packs to be honest. I guess they have done their research and that’s what people want. Doesn’t really suit me though.
    I’d love to see maybe a pack of the types of cuts more difficult to get at your local.

    Might give this one a try. Not sure the place I'm staying has a dutch oven but I'm sure I can improvise some solution to that problem.

    Any oven dish with either a close fitting lid, a lid you can improve the seal with foil, or just tight foiling.
    Obviously the heaviness of a dutch oven keeps a more constant temp for what is inside but the main thing is for it to cook in its own juices.
    In fact improvisation could include oven bags as well.

    A slow cooker does the same trick. Makes a lovely sauce at the end while it is resting too.

    EDIT: I should have kept reading the thread. @Crucial, as per usual, has it bang on.
