LAMB SHANKS WITH GARLIC AND PORT WINE - PRESSURE COOKER

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from the lamb shanks and season with salt and pepper. (I admit I like fat on my meat, and the lamb isn't that fatty, so I didn't trim my shanks).
• Heat the oil in the PC. Add the shanks and brown on all sides. (You can do this in a separate pan if you like).
• When the shanks are almost completely browned, add the garlic cloves and cook until they are lightly browned but not burned.
• Add the stock, port, tomato paste, and rosemary, stirring so the tomato paste dissolves.
• Close the PC and bring up to full pressure (15 pounds).
• Reduce heat to stabilize pressure and cook for 30 minutes.
• Remove PC from heat and let pressure release naturally.
• Remove the lamb shanks.
• Return pan to heat and boil the liquid, uncovered, for 5 minutes to reduce and thicken the sauce.
