Lamb Shank

Risi e Bisi

Method

Lamb Shank

  1. 1

    Searing the Shanks

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the lamb shanks with salt and pepper, then sear them in the pot until browned on all sides. Remove shanks and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cooking the Aromatics

    In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Making the Sauce

    Add the crushed tomatoes, red wine, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Braising the Shanks

    Return the lamb shanks to the pot, making sure they are submerged in the sauce. Cover the pot and reduce heat to low. Let simmer for about 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

    Cooking the Rice

    In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth and keep it warm. In a separate pan, melt the butter and sauté the chopped onion until soft. Add the arborio rice and stir for 1-2 minutes.

  2. 6

    Adding Broth

    Gradually add the warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously until the rice absorbs the liquid.

  3. 7

    Finishing Touches

    When the rice is al dente, stir in the fresh peas, grated parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
