Turn again and roast for 20 more minutes, until golden and crisp. The meat should be soft and tender, and almost falling off the bones. Carefully remove the meat and cool at room temperature. When the shoulder is cool, gently remove the bones and cut the meat into thick slices.

To make a simple sauce, pass the braising liquid and vegetables through the coarsest disk of a food mill. Allow he sauce to settle and thoroughly skim the fat. Taste for seasoning. Thin with a little stock, if necessary, or reduce over medium heat to thicken. You may roast the shoulder and prepare the sauce several hours before serving.
