Lamb shank (in Polish golonka) vs pork "golonka"
This name can be confusing. The pork "golonka" comes from a completely different element in the carcass. The lamb shank is part of the leg (shin). Stereotypes in the kitchen, however, are nothing new and can easily be confused due to similar nomenclature. According to them, the pork golonka must be: large, covered with greasy skin and bathed in beer. This is how the pork is served.
Lamb has nothing to do with it. It contains a small amount of fat because it is a motor, working muscle. The meat is compact and rich in nutrients and vitamins characteristic of lamb. And above all, the richness of connective tissue and collagen, which is necessary for athletes, for example. It is recommended for people who have problems with the digestive system, because it is easily digestible. The protein it contains is easily digestible.
The perfect portion
Like french racks, lamb shank is served on the bone. It gives a nice visual effect after cooking, so you can prepare it for a special occasion for a family dinner or a date. To prepare a family meal for several people, it is best to prepare two. A single or a couple will surely eat one piece.
