Pairing principles
What pairs well with Hogget?
Balsamic acidity and cooked alliums balance a rich shoulder. Woody herbs hold their identity against the meat, and chewy grains absorb its juices. Reserve delicate, brief cooking for suitable tender cuts rather than translating shoulder timings to loin.
