Which part of the lamb is the shank?
According to Wikipedia’s “Shank (meat)” article, the shank is the portion of meat around the leg bone below the knee; lamb shanks are often braised whole.
The meat retailer Crowd Cow’s lamb shank guide describes the cut as the lower leg below the knee: one tapering bone, hard-working muscle and an unusual amount of connective tissue. According to the guide, collagen held in liquid above roughly 160 °F (about 70 °C) slowly dissolves into gelatin, which is why the shank is regarded as a cut suited to slow cooking.
This is general information about the cut. The menu does not describe how Cratus Premium Restaurant prepares its Lamb Shank.
Components named on the menu
Besides the glazed shank, the menu names bone sauce, seasonal mushrooms and potatoes. For flavour it lists fresh spices, rosemary, fresh thyme, onion and garlic, and the cheese is given as regional cheese. The menu describes the mushrooms as seasonal.
