Shoulder

Reindeer shoulder is collageneous forequarter meat—best braised, pulled, minced or slow-roasted until yielding. Lean northern cervid meat is deep red, mildly gamey and very low in fat. Brown well, add liquid and aromatics, cook until a spoon meets little resistance. Deep flavour for ragù, curry and pies with juniper, lingonberry, mushrooms, dill, cream sauces and smoked fat.
