Roasted lamb shoulder is a traditional dish that has endured in different cultures due to its unique flavor and texture. Originating from regions where sheep farming is common, such as parts of Europe and the Middle East, this recipe has been adapted over time with various local ingredients. In Latin America, roasted lamb can vary in name and preparation depending on the country; for example, in Argentina it is often called "cordero a la cruz," while in Mexico it is simply known as "roasted lamb." The incorporation of mustard and red currant glaze adds a modern and sophisticated touch, creating a balance between the traditional and the contemporary.
The use of Dijon mustard as a base for the glaze adds a spicy and creamy flavor, while the red currant jelly provides sweetness and intense color, perfectly complementing the richness of the lamb. This type of combination is very popular in gourmet cuisine and has gained a place on the menus of restaurants and in homes looking for special dishes for important occasions.
