Braised Lamb Shanks With Red Wine Sauce Recipes

RED WINE BRAISED LAMB SHANKS

Steps:

• Season the lamb shanks with the salt and pepper. In a large dutch oven, or other heavy bottomed pot, over medium high heat, add 3 Tablespoons olive oil. Brown the shanks by cooking them on one side for 7 min, flipping and cook for them another 7 min on the other side.
• Remove the lamb shanks from pot and set them aside.
• Add the carrots, onions, celery to the pot you just browned the lamb in. Cook for 6 minutes, stirring frequently to break up any pieces remaining of lamb from the browning and so that the vegetables do not stick. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
• Add the red wine and broth, bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, tomatoes, tomato paste, stir to combine into the pot. Carefully lower shanks back into pot. The liquid should either cover the shanks entirely or cover them almost entirely. If you need more liquid, add equal parts chicken broth and red wine until they are covered.
• Bring everything to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and simmer for 2.5 hours. To cook in the oven, cover the pot and bake at 350 F for 2.5 hours.
• After cooking, remove shanks from pot. Strain the vegetables out of the sauce, discard the vegetabls, and return the sauce to pan. Crank the heat back up to medium high and cook uncovered to reduce the red wine sauce until it thickens to your liking, stirring occasionally. For me this was about 30 minutes but I'd start checking around 15 minutes.
• Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta, with a generous helping of sauce poured over.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the onions in a layer in the bottom of a Dutch oven or medium roasting pan with a lid. Arrange the lamb shanks on top of the onions. Pour the wine, balsamic vinegar and olive oil over the lamb. Place a clove of pressed garlic next to each shank, and a quarter of a lemon on each side. Pour the tomatoes over everything, then season with salt, pepper and basil.
• Cover and place in the preheated oven. Cook for 3 hours. Use juices from the pan to make a nice flavorful gravy.

EASY BRAISED LAMB SHANKS RECIPE

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!
