About Lamb, New Zealand, imported, fore-shank, separable lean only, raw
New Zealand fore-shank, lean only, raw, is the leanest lamb entry in this set. The fore-shank is a heavily worked muscle from the front leg, and trimming the external fat leaves very lean meat with high protein and minimal fat. The trade-off is texture: the fore-shank has significant connective tissue that makes it tough unless braised low and slow for a long time. Raw, it is not practical for any quick cooking method. Braised properly it yields deeply flavored, tender meat that falls cleanly from the small round bone, which is visually distinctive on the plate.
