Tuscan Lamb Shanks with White Beans image

The recipe, as written, requires a pressure cooker. I'm sure that this would be fine using a dutch oven or such. It would need a lot more time with my best estimate being 3-4 hrs.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 - lamb shanks (2 pounds total)
2 tablespoon(s) olive oil
1 - large onion, chopped
2 - medium carrots, chopped
2 - celery ribs, chopped
3 - garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 - (14-ounces) can diced tomatoes in juice
2 - rosemary sprigs
2 - cup dried navy beans, picked over
3 1/2 cup(s) water
- garnish: chopped flat-leaf parsley; extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling

Steps:

  • Pat lamb shanks dry and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper each. Heat oil in pressure cooker over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then brown shanks well, 1 at a time, transferring to a plate.
  • Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic to pressure cooker and sauté until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add tomatoes with juice and rosemary and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in beans, water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Return lamb shanks to pressure cooker and bring to a boil. Seal lid and cook at high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions, 30 minutes.
  • Put pressure cooker in sink (do not remove lid) and run cold water over lid until pressure goes down completely. Remove lid and discard rosemary, then transfer shanks to a cutting board and coarsely shred meat.
