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!

Categories     dinner, soups and stews

Time 3h15m

Yield 1 1/2 cups reduced stock

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 to 3 1/2 pounds of meaty lamb bones
1 medium-size onion, peeled and chopped
2 shallots, peeled and chopped
1 rib celery
4 sprigs parsley
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
2 cloves
1 1/2 tablespoons herbed vinegar or best-quality white-wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, optional

Steps:

  • Put lamb bones in large, heavy kettle, cover with cold water and bring to boil over medium-high heat. As soon as water boils, remove from stove and drain, discarding water. Clean pot completely; rinse off bones and return them to pot.
  • Add vegetables and herbs to bones and fill pot with 3 to 4 quarts of water. Put over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and continue to cook at gentle simmer 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Broth should be reduced and concentrated.
  • Strain stock, discarding bones and vegetables. Pass stock through cheesecloth or fine-mesh sieve, and set aside in a cool place. When fat has risen and hardened slightly, skim it off top. Stock may be refrigerated until ready to use.
  • Before using, reheat stock and simmer gently, uncovered, over low heat for several hours to reduce to about a cup and a half. Add vinegar, salt and pepper, if desired.

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.

NAVARIN OF LAMB

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Lamb Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 1/2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 medium onions, diced (about 3 cups)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup dry white wine
2 cups Homemade Beef Stock
1 cup canned whole tomatoes with juice, seeded and crushed
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1 bay leaf
1/2 package (8-ounce package) pearl onions (about 24)
16 baby carrots or 4 large carrots
1/2 pound baby turnips or 2 large turnips or 5 small turnips
1 1/2 cups peas
1/2 pound young string beans or haricots verts, stems trimmed

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Season lamb with salt and pepper. Working in batches, cook lamb in a single layer until well browned on all sides, about 8 minutes per batch.
  • Return all of the lamb to Dutch oven, add garlic and onions, and cook until onions are soft, 6 minutes. Add flour and cook until it is well browned, 2 minutes.
  • Add wine, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, scraping browned bits from the bottom and sides of pan. Add stock, tomatoes, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low; cover and cook until meat is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Remove meat, place in a large bowl, and set aside. Reduce sauce over high heat until thickened, about 10 minutes. Adjust seasonings. Skim off any fat. Strain sauce over meat, discarding solids; return meat and sauce to Dutch oven. (The navarin can be made ahead up to this point. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat and continue as directed.)
  • Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil, and add pearl onions. Boil 2 minutes, then drain. When onions are cool enough to handle, peel and set aside. Peel baby carrots; trim tops to 1/4 inch. Repeat with baby turnips. If using large carrots and turnips, peel and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Add onions, turnips, and carrots to Dutch oven and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Add peas and simmer 10 minutes more, or until vegetables are tender.
  • Blanch beans until bright green and still crisp, about 5 minutes, then drain. Serve and scatter beans atop each serving.
