I’ll go ahead and warn you ahead of time: these lamb shanks are amazing. I’ve eaten lamb on more than a few occasions, and this is one of the best preparations I’ve ever had. Just making sure I get that out of the way before we dive in…
Lamb shanks, which are a cut from the lower leg (just below the knee), are not the most popular part of the animal, but they’re just as good as the rest. The key is low and slow cooking, and this certainly fits the bill.
