Lamb Shanks, Raw
Lamb shanks are a flavorful, bone-in cut sourced from the lower leg of the sheep, characterized by dense connective tissue that requires slow, moist cooking methods like braising to achieve tenderness. This red meat provides substantial amounts of protein and bioavailable iron but contains higher saturated fat levels than leaner cuts. When properly prepared, the collagen-rich connective tissue breaks down into gelatin, creating a rich mouthfeel ideal for hearty stews and Mediterranean-inspired dishes.
