GRILLED LAMB SHANK TONGSENG

By Sandra Djohan | January 7, 2021

Front legs (lamb foreshank). This section is located from the thigh to the leg. Divided into two kinds, namely the front legs and hind legs. The forelegs are tougher than the hind legs because the front legs have more muscle than fat. Therefore, the processing of the front legs of the goat must be longer than the hind legs.

Sengkel (lamb shank). Kaki belakang ini memiliki tekstur yang lebih empuk dibandingkan kaki depan.
