Lamb shanks are often cut into slices for classic ossobuco. However, our butchers leave the hind shank in its whole form. This creates the well-known 'hammer' shape. A melt-in-the-mouth dish with meat that literally falls off the bone!
Lamb hind shanks are somewhat larger than the fore shanks and can be prepared as 'hammer'. With a long cooking time, the meat becomes butter-tender and literally falls off the bone.
