Meat
Boneless
Boneless shoulder is tied or netted for even roasting and easy carving—still rich with fat seams, far more forgiving than leg for well-done eaters because fat protects the meat. Season liberally, roast until tender (often past pink into soft-slice territory), rest, and carve thick. Cubes from boneless shoulder make superior stews. Ideal for set-and-forget entertaining. Leftovers reheat kindly.
