There are two general methods used for cooking lamb: dry heat and moist
heat. In dry heat cooking (grilling, rotisserie, broiling, roasting, sautéing,
pan-frying), the meat is in direct contact with a hot surface or close
to the heat source. High heat is used to quickly brown the surface and
any additional cooking is at a somewhat lower temperature. This method
works best for tender cuts, although tougher cuts, which have been tenderized
(as with a marinade), can be cooked successfully with dry heat.
With moist heat methods (braising and stewing), the meat is cooked in
contact with hot liquid, usually at a low temperature. The hot liquid
tenderizes the meat and it also acts as a flavoring source. Moist heat
methods are usually used on tougher cuts, such as shoulder or shank, but
may also be used, with care, for tender cuts, such as cuts from the leg.

| Preparing lamb shanks in a slow cooker ensures that this tough, flavorful cut will be tender and succulent. Have the butcher cut shanks cross-wise into 2 inch pieces so they will fit easily into the cooker. (Whole, uncut shanks will fit a large oval cooker). Don't be alarmed by the quantity of garlic - it becomes sweet and mellow with long cooking, and is delicious squeezed out onto the meat. |
