Notes
I purchase a boneless 5.5 pound lamb shoulder, after trimming all the fat away it's a little over 3.5 pounds. You want that amount for this recipe. Discard the fat trimmings.
*** There is a typo in the video that states "beef stock" when it should read "chicken stock". Needless to say, follow recipe as directed using chicken or vegetable stock.
