    I've a piece of shoulder of lamb for two people, and am looking for recommendations for recipes?

    I've had braised lamb shank in restaurants in the past, and am wondering if shoulder can be done in the same way? I.e. braised really long and slow so it is very tender?

    I've found some recipes on the web, but they are for huge quantities, if needs be I'll adapt them, but am wondering if there are any personal recommendations here?

    Thanks all :)

    You are spot on, thinking about braising it long and slow.

    I cook a shoulder for a few hours or more, in a casserole with garlic, chopped onion, maybe a carrot or some celery, a splash of wine or balsamic vinegar, a squirt of tomato puree, a glug of olive oil and some herbs and seasoning.

    The juice left behind makes a great gravy.

    I did a Lebanese type dish I posted here

    Very easy and you get to use up all the trimmings.
    Whatever stock you have left at the end of it makes a great base for a Parsnip soup

    Just slow roast it (about 130-150 conventional) for a good while longer than you'd roast as there's a lot of sinew and tissue that needs to break down, but the end result is IMHO far tastier than a leg.
    Then maybe garnish with a salsa verde made of mint (lots of), parsley, olive oil, anchovies, capers, garlic and lemon juice along with an aioli (garlic mayonaisse) that you mix with the roasting juices from the meat
