Beef shank

Shank is the cut hamin is built on: plenty of connective tissue that turns soft enough to fall apart with a fork after a long slow cook. A typical Moroccan hamin pot holds 1 kg of shank out of 3.8 kg of ingredients.

Frequently asked questions

Why is shank right for hamin?

It has a lot of connective tissue. In a long slow cook it melts into gelatine and the meat turns tender and juicy instead of drying out.

How long do you cook beef shank?

At least three hours at a gentle simmer, and all night in hamin. It is ready when it falls apart with a fork.

How much shank goes into a hamin pot?

A typical Moroccan hamin pot has 1 kg of shank with 300 g of chickpeas, 450 g of potatoes, about 6 eggs and 185 g of rice.
