Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Lamb

    Pat the lamb shanks dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Lamb

    In a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb shanks and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove shanks from the pot and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

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

  2. 4

    Add Tomato Paste

    Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

  3. 5

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce by half.

  4. 6

    Add Broth and Herbs

    Add the beef broth, fresh rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  5. 7

    Braise the Lamb

    Return the lamb shanks to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Allow to braise for about 2 to 2.5 hours or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve

    Remove the shanks from the pot and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with the braising liquid spooned over the top.
