Season Any Sunday
Card No. 088
A whole shoulder, bone in, on a bed of onions cut thick enough to hold the meat off the tray. Nothing else until the last hour.
The bone comes out clean when it is done. If it does not, it needs another forty minutes and you will not have ruined anything by waiting.
What goes wrong
Covering it too long. The last hour has to be uncovered or the fat never renders down into something you want to eat.
