Fall-Off-the-Bone Braised Lamb Shoulder (Cheap, Easy, Unbelievably Good)

Lamb shoulder chops are one of the most underrated, budget-friendly cuts you can buy — and once you braise them, they turn into fall-off-the-bone, restaurant-level perfection.
In this video, we’re taking $5–$6/lb lamb shoulder chops and transforming them with a simple braise using carrots, onions, celery… and yes, a little apple to complement that gamey lamb flavor. Sweet + acidic ingredients pair beautifully with ruminant meat and mellow it out without covering it up.
If you’ve never braised lamb before, this recipe is easy, forgiving, and insanely flavorful.
Great for meal prep, cold weather, and impressing dinner guests on a budget.
