Lamb Shank Stew

Lamb Shank Stew

EverydayCooked

Lamb shank stew is a hearty dish featuring cross-cut lamb shanks slow-cooked until fork-tender in a savory broth with root vegetables and aromatics. The extended braising process breaks down collagen-rich connective tissues and bone marrow into gelatin, creating a luxuriously thick texture while delivering high-quality protein, iron, and zinc. While nutrient-dense, the dish's saturated fat content from well-marbled meat requires mindful portioning, particularly for heart-healthy diets.
