Mutton shoulder is a rich, flavorful cut from a mature sheep, known for its deep, robust taste and tender texture when slow-cooked. It has a higher fat content and marbling, which enhances its juiciness and makes it ideal for roasting, braising, or slow-cooking methods like stews and curries. The meat becomes tender and falls apart when cooked low and slow, absorbing spices and marinades beautifully. Commonly used in traditional dishes worldwide, mutton shoulder pairs well with bold flavors such as garlic, rosemary, cumin, and chili, making it a popular choice for hearty and aromatic meals.
