Best New Zealand Rosemary Lamb Shanks Recipes

ROSEMARY BRAISED LAMB SHANKS

Rosemary Braised Lamb Shanks image

Lamb shanks are slowly simmered with fresh rosemary, garlic, tomatoes, and red wine. Great served with polenta, or my family's favorite--roasted garlic mashed potatoes--as you need something to soak up the wonderful sauce. A fantastic dish for company, as all the prep work is done at the beginning, and then you just have to wait.

NEW ZEALAND ROSEMARY LAMB SHANKS

New Zealand Rosemary Lamb Shanks image

When I was young, my family lived in New Zealand for two years after World War II. Some things were in short supply, but one item that was always available was lamb shanks. Mother cooked them all the time with root vegetables, and to this day I love lamb! -Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada
