The Lamb Shoulder

Eldest child requested rosemary garlic lamb for dinner Post Tree Acquisition. I took advantage of the request to try a new cut. I am not sure why it was called a shoulder. It was more like a side. LOTS of Bone, ribs and vertebrate. 8lb "roast" had at least two pounds of bone. A lot of fat. Enough meat for six adults.

I put it is the oven 350F-- salted and rosemary-ed for four hours. I EXPECTED to be picking bones out of pulled lamb meat but had to carve it. AWKWARD and there is so much more to cook down. The gravy was fucking fantastic. Not very pretty but tasty and very rich. Very Fatty. Clean up was a mess. If you asked me to pick one word to sum up this dish I would say "messy". It was easy peasy prep/cooking but man, serving that little puppy was a bit of a pain in the ass. For dinner parties I would choose a leg. This was tasty, but not for presentation purposes.
