ROSEMARY BRAISED LAMB SHANKS

Steps:

• Sprinkle shanks with salt and pepper. Heat oil in heavy large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook shanks until brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer shanks to plate.
• Add onions, carrots and garlic to pot and saute until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in wine, tomatoes, chicken broth and beef broth. Season with rosemary and thyme. Return shanks to pot, pressing down to submerge. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover, and simmer until meat is tender, about 2 hours.
• Remove cover from pot. Simmer about 20 minutes longer. Transfer shanks to platter, place in a warm oven. Boil juices in pot until thickened, about 15 minutes. Spoon over shanks.

BRAISED LAMB SHANKS WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF.
• Season the lamb shanks with salt and pepper. In a large, deep pan (I like to use my Le Creuset dutch oven) over a medium-high flame, warm the olive oil and then brown the shanks on all sides, about 5 minutes in all.
• Transfer the shanks to a dish.
• Add the onions, carrots, and celery to the pan and cook until onions are translucent.
• Add the wine to the pan, and bring to a simmer, stirring up any bits off the bottom.
• Add the stock, rosemary, garlic, bay leaf and shanks to the pan and bring to a boil.
• Place the lid on the pan, and put it in the preheated oven. Cook about 2 hours. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice and a nice salad.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF.
• Heat oil in heavy large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season lamb shanks with salt and pepper. Working in batches, add lamb to Dutch oven; brown on all sides, about 8 minutes per batch. Transfer lamb to plate. Add carrots, celery, onion and garlic to Dutch oven; saute until light brown, about 4 minutes. Add 1 3/4 cups wine; bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits, about 2 minutes. Add both broths, rosemary and bay leaves. Return lamb to Dutch oven; cover. Cook in oven until lamb is very tender, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Transfer lamb shanks to platter. Tent with foil. Strain cooking liquid, reserving vegetables. Discard bay leaves. Return liquid to Dutch oven. Boil liquid until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 10 minutes. Mix remaining 1/4 cup wine with cornstarch until smooth. Add to cooking liquid and simmer until thickened, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Return lamb and vegetables to Dutch oven. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.).
• Simmer lamb until heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange lamb and vegetables on platter. Spoon sauce over. Garnish with rosemary sprigs and serve.
