Braised Lamb Osso Bucco Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Lamb

   Season the lamb shanks with salt and black pepper. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb shanks on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same pot, add diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

3. 3

   Deglaze the Pot

   Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Remaining Ingredients

   Add the chicken broth, canned tomatoes, rosemary, thyme, and return the lamb shanks to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.

5. 5

   Braise the Lamb

   Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the lamb is tender and falls off the bone.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove the lamb shanks from the pot and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with the rich sauce spooned over the top.
