Braised Lamb Shank
Braised lamb shank is a tender cut of meat from the lower leg of the lamb, slow-cooked in liquid until fork-tender. This rich dish features meat that characteristically falls off the bone, having been cooked in a flavorful combination of stock, wine, and aromatics until the connective tissues break down. While high in protein and essential nutrients like iron and zinc, it's also a relatively rich cut with notable fat content, particularly around the edges of the meat.
