Lamb Shanks (2 Shanks)
Lamb Shank
Lamb shanks practically melt off the bone when they are slow cooked, and are a popular menu item across the country. Lean on fat but big on flavor, the meaty shank is perfect for braising in a slow, simmering broth. Great cooked in a dutch oven or instant pot.
Each Package is approximately 2 Lbs.

Marinade shanks in a drizzle of olive oil, and spices for 4 hours, up to overnight for best flavors. See chef's notes.
