Braised Lamb Shank

Braised Lamb Shank

BLEND No.21 CREATIVE RECIPE

My tremendously versatile Blend No.21 for meat sauce is packed with flavor and can be used in many different ways, including braising different cuts of meat on- or off-bone. I particularly love No.21 used with Lamb Shank, aside from making the meat so incredibly tender it falls from the bone, it also gives this dish a divine aroma, which is uncharacteristic of lamb. As always, I challenge you to Get Creative!
