Part of my fondness for lamb precludes using anything that will alter its
character a lot, but rather I like to enhance it. I cook lamb at a lower
temperature and prefer it rare, really rare. I often have to cook it more
so as not to turn off guests, however.

Shoulder makes a fabulous Italian braise with garlic, cloves, nutmeg,
cinnamon, lots of onions and tomato. I serve it with polenta and there's
never a scrap left.
