Lamb, leg, half knuckle, pot-roasted, lean

This entry describes the lean meat from a half-knuckle cut of lamb leg, cooked by pot-roasting. It mainly provides protein and fat, with 29g of protein and 9.3g of fat per 100g, including 3.9g of saturated fat. It also supplies vitamins and minerals, including 3µg of vitamin B12 per 100g, as well as iron and zinc.
