Lamb shank is the perfect cut to slow cook for a tasty and healthy meat. You also can use it in a stew base or stock for extra flavor and health benefits. It will add tremendous taste to soup and allows for the use of more of the lamb in the cooking process.
Shank, similar to beef "meat on soup bones", is taken from the foreleg and is about 5-2″ in diameter across the bone which gives you a cross-section of bone surrounded with meat, and about 4-5" in length. Perfect for braising in red wine sauce or to cook in a slow cooker or crockpot.
Shank carries a rich flavor coming from both the meat and bone marrow. When slow cooked over low heat for at least 4 hours, shank qualifies for an excellent dining experience, and will give you that perfect, fall off the bone texture. We guarantee the wait will be well worth it when you’re enjoying a meal rich in flavor and nutrition.
At Pasture to Fork, we raise lamb on grass so that you have the peace of mind knowing that it's as natural and as healthy for you as possible.
