LAMB - SLOW ROASTED LAMB SHANKS WITH GARLIC AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450? F (205? C). Line an oven baking dish or pan with foil and place the lamb shanks within. Sprinkle olive oil over the flesh to coat so the spices stick (1-2 tbsps), and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast uncovered in the hot oven for 30 minutes. Remove the pan and turn oven down to 200? F (93? C). Spread the Garlic, Rosemary and Thyme evenly around the Lamb shanks. Close the foil to seal in all juices and then wrap again in foil to ensure that it is well sealed. Cook slowly for three (3) hours in the slow oven. Scrape off the spices and serve. Strain the juice and pour over the meat. Serve with favourite potatoes and vegetables. Tender and delicious!

• Place the baking dish in the oven while it heats to 450°F (232°C). Roast at high heat for 15 minutes, then remove the lamb from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C).
• Add the chicken broth, cloves of garlic, and fresh herbs to the baking dish and cover it with aluminum foil. Overlap the foil so it seals securely and the steam is kept in the dish.

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.

• 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.
