Why use lamb shoulder for braised?
Any type of meat is essentially a muscle. The more the animal uses that muscle the tougher it is. A roast cut from the laeg would not be as tender when cooked as say A steak cut from the back of an animal such as a Tbone or porterhouse. Braising is a way of cooking that helps to tenderize the cut you are cooking. Adding an acid, such as tomato paste, to the braising liquid will help tenderize the meat even more.
