A family favourite dinner in these parts, slow cooked lamb shanks are an incredibly satisfying dish served with a creamy herb and garlic mashed potato and honey glazed carrots.
Meat shanks make up the meat around the tibia. Lamb shanks are more often than not, cooked whole and very slowly.
Lamb shanks are a fairly inexpensive cut, compared to nearly every other cut off the animal. Cooking them requires little to no effort, just time.
When you simmer lamb shanks in a sauce that you will later serve it with, the results are special. The meat literally, just slides off the bone. Not like pork ribs, in this case you actually want the meat falling off of the bone.
