Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onion, carrots, and celery into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside. Rinse the lamb shanks under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Lamb

    Rub the lamb shanks with salt and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Lamb

    In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the lamb shanks and sear on all sides until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the shanks and set aside.

  2. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Flavorings

    Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Allow the wine to simmer for 5 minutes.

  4. 6

    Simmer the Lamb Shanks

    Return the seared lamb shanks to the pot. Add the beef broth, fresh rosemary, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 2-3 hours, until the lamb is tender and falling off the bone.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Dish

    Remove the lamb shanks from the pot and place on a serving platter. Optionally, strain the sauce and reduce it further for a thicker consistency. Serve the lamb shanks warm with the sauce drizzled on top.
