Easter may be over, but lamb is a popular dish year round in Paris, and not just because it can be easily found in the city of light’s many food markets and on our Paris food tours! Whether it’s roasted, sous vide, or braised, the meat is succulent. Lamb shoulder is also a dish that Chef Frederic loves to share with his guests during our Paris cooking classes. As with many dishes in France, Chef Frederic recommends pairing it with seasonal vegetables. This recipe of his, which you can learn during our cooking vacations in Paris, serves four people.
