About Lamb, foreshank, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, choice, raw
Lamb foreshank, raw, with an eighth-inch fat cap, is a braising cut by nature. The connective tissue in the shank needs long moist-heat cooking to soften, so eating it raw is really only a nutritional reference point. Fat and protein are roughly balanced here, with no carbs or fiber. Once braised for several hours, the shank becomes fork-tender, gelatin-rich from the collagen, and deeply flavored. It is one of the more economical lamb cuts for the results it delivers.
