Originally from the Territory of Belfort, Ballon shoulder of lamb is a flavoursome recipe resulting from a union of the artisan butchers and charcuterie producers in the area. Traditionally, it is eaten between September and May, with a nice glass of red wine like a Vacqueyras, Pomerol or Saint-Émilion.
Ballon shoulder of lamb is boned and stuffed with blueberries, then oven-baked. It's a festive dish that is found on the menus of the greatest restaurants in Belfort. It is greatly appreciated for its originality and sweet and savoury flavour.
