lamb shank
Slow-cooked ovine
A lamb shank is the lower portion of a lamb's leg, a cut of meat prized for slow cooking.
The shank contains connective tissue that breaks down during braising, producing tender, falling-off-the-bone meat: We braised lamb shanks in red wine for four hours.
It's a staple of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines.
