Lamb Shank Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Lamb Shank

   Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Season the lamb shanks with salt, black pepper, and thyme.

2. 2

   Sear the Lamb

   In a large oven-safe pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb shanks on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from pot and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté Aromatics

   In the same pot, add chopped onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

4. 4

   Deglaze the Pot

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

5. 5

   Add Stock and Return Lamb

   Add beef stock and return the lamb shanks to the pot. Bring to a simmer, cover, and transfer to the preheated oven.

6. 6

   Cook the Lamb

   Cook the lamb shanks for about 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

7. 7

   Prepare the Sweet Corn Fundito

   In a skillet, combine sweet corn with a little olive oil and sauté until heated through. Blend with cream and cheese until smooth, then season to taste.

8. 8

   Serve the Dish

   On a plate, place the sweet corn fundito as a base. Top with the tender lamb shank, roasted tomato, salami piccante, and garnish with fresh cilantro, pickled onion, and tomatillo salsa.
