Shank Portion

Shank Portion, comes from the lower leg section of the pig. It includes the bone and has a lot of connective tissue.

Because of the connective tissue, it's best suited for slow-cooking methods like braising or stewing. The meat becomes tender and flavorful when cooked for a longer time, often used in dishes like pork osso buco.

This is the 99th most popular cut in the events we have filmed.
