A premium, versatile cut for cooking with character.
The lamb shoulder, selected by the Le Delas Butchery Workshop, is a prime cut renowned for its tenderness and rich flavour. Less expensive than the leg but just as flavourful, it features marbled meat that guarantees exceptional tenderness after cooking. This whole bone-in cut, vacuum-packed for optimal maturation and protection, offers a melt-in-the-mouth texture and a distinctive flavour that make it a must-have for seasonal menus and festive meals.
Professional uses, preparation and storage:
► Gastronomic applications: Lamb shoulder lends itself to a wide variety of culinary techniques. When cooked whole, it is sublime when slow-roasted in the oven (“seven-hour shoulder”) or braised in a casserole with herbes de Provence. Its structure also allows it to be boned in the kitchen to create stir-fries, traditional Navarins, fragrant tagines or distinctive skewers. The presence of the bone during cooking is a major advantage, as it infuses the meat with an incomparable flavour.
► Preparation: To bring out the best in this meat, it is advisable to remove the piece from its vacuum-sealed packaging and leave it to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. Avoiding this thermal shock helps to preserve the tenderness of the fibres. For the best presentation on the plate, opt for slow cooking at a low temperature, which ensures the meat falls easily off the bone.
► Storage: A fresh product that must be stored in a refrigerated environment between 0°C and +4°C. Vacuum packaging allows for flexible stock management whilst guaranteeing impeccable hygiene and the preservation of juices.
