About Lamb, shoulder, whole (arm and blade), separable lean only, trimmed to 1/4" fat, choice, cooked, braised
Braised lean lamb shoulder, after long, slow cooking, ends up with the highest protein concentration of almost any lamb entry in this set. The extended moist heat drives off a large amount of moisture, concentrating the protein substantially. Fat stays moderate. Braising also breaks down the tough connective tissue that makes raw shoulder difficult to eat, producing meat that is fork-tender and richly flavored. The braising liquid absorbs lamb fat and collagen, making it valuable as a sauce or stock base. This is the ideal cooking method for the shoulder cut.
