It is slow cooking time of year again, and I don’t know about you, but I’m craving comfort food. It’s not that cold outside yet, but I think we’ve officially got permission to slow cook. I’ve been seeing shoulders of lamb readily available in the supermarket that are really good value.

Lamb in general can be expensive, but the shoulder is the exception. It’s got plenty of connective tissue, so it cooks down beautifully, even though it needs time to get there.
