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.

EASY BRAISED LAMB SHANKS RECIPE



Easy Braised Lamb Shanks Recipe image

Super tender, perfectly spiced braised lamb shanks and vegetables in a rich red wine sauce. Cooking lamb shanks is easier than you might think. Simply season, sear, and braise! It's the perfect lamb shank recipe for a small gathering! A dry red wine is your best bet for the red wine sauce. (Merlot is my favorite here, but a Cabernet Sauvignon would work well, too.) Serve rosemary lamb shanks with couscous, Lebanese rice, or pita to soak up all the delicious sauce. Start this rich, meaty dinner with a big bright salad like arugula salad or white bean salad.

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon sweet Spanish paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 American lamb shanks
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, (roughly chopped)
2 celery ribs, (chopped)
3 large carrots, (peeled and cut into large pieces)
1 pound baby potatoes, (scrubbed)
2 cups red wine like Merlot
3 cups low-sodium beef broth
28- ounce can peeled tomatoes
2 cinnamon sticks
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, add all the spice mix ingredients and mix to combine.
  • Pat the lamb shanks dry and season with the spice mix on all sides.
  • In a large Dutch oven pot like this one, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown the lamb shanks on all sides (about 8 mins or so). Transfer the lamb shanks to a large tray or bowl for now. Carefully dispose of extra fat in a separate heat-safe bowl, and return the pot to heat.
  • Now add the onions, celery, carrots and potatoes. Saute for 5-7 minutes on medium-high, or until the vegetables gain some color. Add red wine, scrape the pot of brown bits. Cook briefly so that the wine reduces a bit.
  • Add the broth, tomatoes, cinnamon sticks, thyme, and rosemary. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper. Return lamb shanks back to the pot; press down to submerge. Boil for 10 minutes. Turn heat off.
  • Cover the pot and transfer to the 350 degrees F-heated oven. Cook in the oven for 2 1/2 hours (It's a good idea to check periodically through cooking just in case you need to add a little more liquid. When the shanks finish cooking, the liquid will have reduced to about 1/3 of what it was when you started.)
  • While the lamb shanks are cooking, prepare rice according to this recipe, or prepare 2-3 cups of orzo pasta according to package instructions.
  • Serve the lamb shanks hot with a little of the veggies and braising sauce on top of rice or orzo pasta. You might also like to prepare a side salad like this 3-ingredient Mediterranean salad or Fattoush. Enjoy!

SLOW COOKED LAMB SHANKS IN RED WINE



Slow Cooked Lamb Shanks in Red Wine image

My slightly varied version of Gary Rhodes delicious Lamb Shank recipe. Truly mouth-watering moist and tender! I've made this a few times now. The first time I made this I used a medium bodied wine and it turned out just as fantastic. If you want to make this exactly like Gary's then only use 1 carrot, 2 cloves garlic, 1 sprig of rosemary, do all the stovetop and oven cooking in large stew pan or dutch oven, use beef consommé instead of beef stock and the thickening of the red wine sauce is optional. This is a truly wonderful meal and worthy of a dinner party, special occasion or just a romantic meal. I hope you like it as much as we do.
