Slow-roasted lamb shoulder
Slow-roasted lamb shoulder develops deep, savory flavors with rendered fat creating a rich, tender texture. The robust character calls for full-bodied red wines with firm tannins to cut through the fat and complement the meat's earthy, gamey notes, while malt-forward beers provide caramel and nutty notes that enhance the caramelization of the roasted lamb.
