Lamb Shanks 3kg — Premium Tender Bone-In Slow-Cooking Cut

Lamb Shanks are a 3kg selection of the meaty, collagen-rich lower section of the lamb's leg. Known for being one of the most flavorful cuts of the animal, shanks are the ultimate choice for "low-and-slow" cooking. When simmered over time, the connective tissues melt away, transforming the meat into a succulent, "fall-off-the-bone" delicacy with a rich, silky sauce.

What It Is:

Marrow-Infused Flavor: The central marrow bone acts as a flavor conductor, releasing deep, savory essences into the surrounding meat and gravy as it cooks.

Texture Transformation: While firm when raw, the high collagen content ensures the meat becomes incredibly tender and gelatinous after braising.

Fresh Daily Selection: Sourced from young lamb to ensure a milder, sweeter flavor profile compared to mutton, with a fine-grained texture.

3kg Bulk Pack: Typically contains 6 to 9 shanks (depending on individual size), making it perfect for hosting dinner parties, meal prepping, or large family gatherings.

Nutrition Benefits

Lamb shanks offer more than just deep flavor; they are packed with restorative nutrients:

High Collagen Content: The slow-cooking process extracts natural gelatin and collagen, which supports joint health, gut integrity, and skin elasticity.

Bioavailable Iron: An excellent source of heme iron, which is easily absorbed by the body to help maintain energy levels and prevent fatigue.

Essential Zinc: Supports a robust immune system and aids in healthy cellular repair and wound healing.

Vitamin B12: Critical for healthy nerve function and the production of red blood cells.

How to Use

Lamb shanks require patience to reach their full potential, making them the star of any slow-cooked meal:

Red Wine & Rosemary Braise: Sear the shanks until golden brown, then simmer in a rich broth of red wine, beef stock, rosemary, and garlic for 3–4 hours.

Moroccan Lamb Tagine: Slow-cook with dried apricots, chickpeas, cumin, and cinnamon for a fragrant, sweet, and savory North African feast.

Indian Mutton/Lamb Nihari: Simmer in a spicy, flour-thickened gravy for a traditional breakfast or dinner dish where the meat is tender enough to eat with just a spoon.

Classic Lamb Shank Soup: Use the shanks to create a hearty, thickened vegetable soup where the meat is shredded back into the broth.

Tip: Never rush a lamb shank. Cooking them at a low temperature (around 150°C in the oven or on a low simmer) ensures the fibers relax rather than tighten, resulting in that signature tender texture.
