Lamb Shanks

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sear the Lamb Shanks

    In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the lamb shanks with salt and black pepper, then sear them in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the shanks and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In the same pot, add chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and chopped celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Deglaze the Pot

    Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Allow the wine to simmer for about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Liquid and Herbs

    Return the lamb shanks to the pot, add beef stock, and toss in the rosemary sprigs. Bring to a boil.

  5. 5

    Braised Cook

    Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 2 hours or until the lamb is tender and falling off the bone.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the shanks from the pot and serve them hot with your choice of two appetizers or salads.
