Categories     main-dish

Time 3h55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons canola oil
4 medium lamb shanks (about 1/2 pound each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper plus 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
16 small carrots, split lengthwise
12 large cloves garlic
4 small parsnips, split lengthwise
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 cup dry vermouth
8 cups beef stock
1/4 cup yellow miso paste
1/4 cup grainy mustard
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 cup fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat a Dutch oven over high heat and add the oil. Sprinkle the lamb on all sides with salt and pepper. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, use a pair of metal tongs to arrange the lamb in a single layer in the hot oil. Brown the lamb on all sides, 12 to 15 minutes total. Remove the lamb to a medium bowl.
  • Stir the onions into the grease and sprinkle them lightly with salt. Cook until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the carrots, garlic and parsnips. Season with salt and add the brown sugar. Cook until the vegetables become slightly tender, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Add the vermouth and cook until all of the liquid cooks out, an additional 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the beef stock, miso paste and mustard. Add the lamb back into the stew. Cover and place in the center of the oven. Cook until the meat is tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
  • Use a large spoon to skim any excess fat or impurities from the surface of the sauce. Taste for seasoning. Stir in the vinegar. Allow to rest for 15 minutes, then top with the coarsely ground pepper and parsley. Serve immediately.

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 veal shanks, with the bone in the center surrounded by meat, cut into 8 to 10 ounce portions
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup diced parsnips
1/2 cup diced turnips
4 cloves of garlic, left whole, peeled
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken stock or beef and veal stock
Chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Season the veal with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet and sear the veal shanks over high heat on all sides until well browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the browned veal shanks from the skillet and place them in an ovenproof casserole. To the same skillet in which you browned the veal, add the diced vegetables, along with the whole garlic cloves, and saute them for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • When the vegetables have begun to cook and wilt, add the tomato paste and combine thoroughly. Be careful not to burn the tomato paste. Add the white wine and the chicken or veal stock and bring to a boil. Carefully pour the vegetable liquid mixture over the veal shanks in the casserole and braise covered in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour and 45 minutes. The veal should be fork tender, with the meat just beginning to separate from the bone when you remove them from the oven. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

BRAISED LAMB SHANKS WITH PEPPERS



Braised Lamb Shanks With Peppers image

Hearty and aromatic, this braised lamb dish, adapted from my mother, Annette Gertner, takes inspiration from the Middle East by way of Eastern Europe. It simmers mostly unattended and even benefits from being made earlier in the day - or even a day or two in advance - and reheated. The four shanks yield four copious portions. (The recipe will serve six if every guest does not insist on having a bone.) Orzo alongside will sop up the sauce.

Categories     meat, main course

Time 3h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 small-to-medium lamb shanks (3 to 3 1/2 pounds), excess fat and silver skin removed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and ground black pepper
1 large green bell pepper, cored, ribs removed, cut in 1/2-inch strips
1 large red bell pepper, cored, ribs removed, cut in 1/2-inch strips
4 small yellow onions (about 1 pound), peeled and quartered vertically
3 large garlic cloves, smashed
1 teaspoon dill seed, crushed in a mortar
1 teaspoon paprika, preferably Hungarian
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup dry red wine
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon dried oregano
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill

Steps:

  • Pat dry lamb shanks. In a heavy casserole or Dutch oven that will hold all the shanks, heat oil on medium-high. Add lamb shanks and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove to a platter. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Add bell peppers and onions to the pan. Sauté, stirring, until the vegetables wilt and just begin to color, 5 to 6 minutes. Add garlic, dill seed, paprika and cinnamon. Stir. Add stock and wine. Bring to a simmer. Stir in tomato paste and oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in lemon juice. Return lamb shanks to the pot along with any juices on the platter. Cover them with a piece of parchment or waxed paper, cover pot with lid, reduce heat to very low and cook about 2 hours, basting the shanks occasionally and turning them at least once until the meat is very tender when pierced with a knife.
  • Remove shanks from the pot. Increase heat to medium and reduce sauce by about a third, about 10 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Return shanks to the pot, baste and reheat. Serve directly from the casserole or transfer to a serving dish. Strew with fresh dill before serving.

TOMATO AND FENNEL BRAISED LAMB SHANKS



Tomato and Fennel Braised Lamb Shanks image

From The Cook's Book of Intense Flavors by Robert and Molly Krause: The versatile sweet tomato makes a great base for anise-flavored fennel and tangy mustard. Plus, you can employ many different cooking techniques to both the tomato and fennel. Use them both raw for a fresh salad with a Dijon fennel seed vinaigrette. Roast the tomato and fennel and season them with mustard seed for a brothy soup. Puree all three ingredients for a creamy soup. Or go the route of the application recipe and season a braised lamb dish with this ingredient combo. These flavors are well suited to fish, chicken, beef, or lamb. This dish needs several hours in the oven so start early if you plan to eat it the same day you cook it. Serve these shanks in a shallow bowl with something such as polenta to absorb the delicious braising liquid.
