Shoulder

Camel shoulder is the large forequarter block of worked muscle—ideal for pulling, stewing, and grinding once collagen softens. Flavour is robust and characteristic of camel; it stands up to heavy spice, smoke, and long tomato braises. Young shoulder can be cubed for faster stews; mature shoulder wants all-day heat. Season boldly, brown if the recipe allows, and cook low until shreddable or dice-tender. Bone-in pieces enrich the pot; boneless shoulder rolls for even carving. Leftovers make excellent sandwich fillings and rice toppings.
