Taken from the head end of the animal, this is a tougher cut with a fair amount of connective tissue, and a full flavour. It’s ideal for stewing and braising.
I like to use this part of the neck cut into slices, with the bone in the centre - you’ll need one or two slices per serving. Long, slow-cooking renders this neck cut very tender.
