Slow braised lamb shoulder, how can you go wrong this dish for me is fantastic, as the oven does most of the work for you and the end result is incredible. Once braised down in this amazing braising liquid you will be left with falling off the bone lamb shoulder and an intense reduced sauce to pour over the top. (a great substitute for the traditional Sunday roast)
