Notes

  • Either goat or lamb shanks can be used in this recipe. 
  • Look for goat milk at your local coop. If you can't find it it's fine to use cows milk.
  • Ideally this recipe will use shanks cut into pieces, if you can't find them, you can also use bone in goat meat purchased from Shepherd Song, or your local halal market.
