Romoving the fat? It’s the fat that’s the whole point of shoulder! Lovely stuff – slow roast, which will be a long old do for a whole shoulder. You can put stuffing in – it’s wild mushroom season at the mo, and that would be perfect. I also recommend fennel seeds as a good flavour partner for pork.
Hmm. I’ve got the whole evening to myself and I have to stay in the house to dog-sit – think I might go get myself a shoulder joint and have a massive mid-evening feast. Double hmm – I also happen to have rather a lot of wild mushrooms.
