Tender lamb shoulder slow-braised in dark ale until it falls apart. Rich, warming and deeply flavourful, worth every minute.

Britain has been cooking lamb since Roman times, when sheep were kept primarily for wool and milk. Using beer in cooking dates back to medieval England, when ale was added to stews instead of water, which was often unsafe to drink.
