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.

• Pour the juices over the shanks, and serve.

SLOW BRAISED LAMB SHANKS

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 160ºC/320ºF.
• Season the lamb shanks generously with salt and pepper. Brown the lamb shanks in a large, deep oven-proof pot/pan until well-browned on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• In the same pan, fry the onion, carrot, celery and garlic until soft and fragrant. Add the herbs and tomato paste and cook for 30 seconds before adding the red wine and stock. Allow to come to a simmer then add the lamb shanks back into the sauce.
• Cover with a lid and place in the oven. Allow to braise slowly for 2-3 hours until the lamb is soft and succulent. Check on the lamb shanks half-way through cooking and add more stock if necessary.
• Remove from the oven and serve.

SLOW-ROASTED ROSEMARY GARLIC LAMB SHANKS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 450 F.
• Place the shanks in a roasting pan just large enough to fit them in one layer and rub with the olive oil . Season generously with salt and pepper, or to taste.
• Roast for 20 minutes to get a nice brown color. Remove from the oven and turn the temperature down to 325 F.
• While waiting for the oven to cool down, spoon out any excess fat and scatter the garlic cloves and rosemary over and around the lamb.
• Wrap the braising or roasting pan very tightly with several layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil (remember: you want as tight a seal as possible), and return to the oven. Roast the lamb for an additional 2 hours. Resist the temptation to open the foil and check on it until the 2 hours are up because you'll increase the risk of the meat becoming too tough.
• Remove the foil, pour in the chicken broth, and turn the heat up to 400 F. Roast for 15 minutes, and remove. The lamb shanks are done cooking when they are nicely browned and fork-tender.
• Transfer the lamb shanks to a serving platter and spoon over the juices, garlic cloves, and rosemary.
