This whole mutton shoulder is 100% mutton — Certified Halal, British, from animals slaughtered by the non-stunned method, Antibiotic-free and Growth hormone-free. Sold whole, it's also cut to order into steaks, diced pieces or chunks, Fat-On or Fat-Off. Packs run 500g up to 4kg, suited to slow braises, roasts and rich yakhni-style curries.Whole Shoulder Versus Whole Leg?Shoulder has more connective tissue and fat than leg, so it rewards a long, moist cook rather than a quick roast. Packed from 500g to 4kg, this whole shoulder scales from a small braise to a family-sized yakhni pot in one order.Leg is usually carved in slices; shoulder, by contrast, is built to be cut to order — steaks, diced pieces or chunks, Fat-On or Fat-Off — so the same piece works for curry, stew or a slow roast.Cuts And Pack SizesYou can have the whole shoulder cut to order as steaks (150-180g) for grilling, or diced in three sizes — 10-15g for quick-cooking curries, 25-30g for everyday curry, or 50-60g for slower stews — plus chunks (160-180g) for kebabs and one-pot dishes. Choose Fat-On for extra richness or Fat-Off if you prefer it leaner.Packs run 500g, 1kg, 2kg or 4kg, so one cut scales from a midweek curry for two up to a full table's worth of yakhni.Storing And DefrostingOnce it arrives, keep the shoulder refrigerated and use it within a couple of days, or freeze it the day it arrives.Give it around 12 hours to defrost fully before cutting or cooking — the fridge works better here than room temperature.
