Roasted Lamb Shank

Roasted Lamb Shank

EverydayCooked

Roasted lamb shank is a flavorful cut from the lower leg of a lamb, known for its rich collagen content that transforms into gelatin during slow cooking, yielding exceptionally tender, fall-off-the-bone meat. This protein-rich dish provides significant amounts of iron and zinc, while its characteristic marrow-filled bone contributes to its deep, savory flavor profile. Typically seasoned with aromatic herbs and cooked low-and-slow, it's often served with hearty accompaniments like mashed roots or braised greens.
