New Zealand Lamb Shank 800gr

🍖 New Zealand Lamb Shank

New Zealand Lamb Shank • Slow Cook Star • Rich & Juicy • Gourmet Oven/ Pot Roast

New Zealand Lamb Shank is one of those cuts that was born for slow cooking and large “winter” tables. With the bone providing tension and the collagen melting in the low cooking, it becomes buttery , deeply aromatic and incredibly juicy, with a sauce that binds itself and “sticks” to the spoon.
