Have you tried grilling or roasting lamb shank, otherwise known as the shins of a leg of lamb? Although it can be a little tough, the shank is actually very flavorful and can be melting-off-the-bone delicious if prepared correctly. The ideal way to cook a lamb shank is to braise it which will break down all the connective tissue. Simply season the meat with salt and pepper, sear it on all sides in a dutch oven pot on the stove, add a couple of onions, a few cloves of garlic, fresh herbs, beef stock, and maybe a touch of red wine. Then place it in the oven for a couple of hours until the lamb is tender. When first cooked, definitely serve it with creamy mashed potatoes or polenta but store the leftover lamb in the fridge for some delicious sandwiches the next day. You'll want to slice the meat very thinly which will be easier to do when it's cold out of the fridge. Once sliced, you can heat it or just eat at room temperature. Pile the slices of lamb onto a soft round of pita, naan, or your favorite flatbread along with chopped vegetables, fresh parsley or even mint, and a great sauce. Tzatziki would be traditional with lamb, but this recipe for a creamy yogurt-based tahini sauce makes a delicious change. Wrap these sandwiches up for lunch on the go or a picnic in the park.
