BRAISED LAMB SHANKS WITH ROSEMARY

A braise is like a stew, but requires less liquid and has a longer cooking time. Allow about two and a half hours for the lamb to cook on top of the stove. Serve green beans and the polenta with it. Pour a Cabernet Sauvignon.

ROSEMARY BRAISED LAMB SHANKS



Rosemary Braised Lamb Shanks image

Lamb shanks are slowly simmered with fresh rosemary, garlic, tomatoes, and red wine. Great served with polenta, or my family's favorite--roasted garlic mashed potatoes--as you need something to soak up the wonderful sauce. A fantastic dish for company, as all the prep work is done at the beginning, and then you just have to wait.

BRAISED LAMB SHANKS WITH ROSEMARY



Braised Lamb Shanks With Rosemary image

From the lower section of the leg, lamb shanks are a full-flavored but tough cut of meat. They respond well to slow, gentle braising in aromatic liquid, emerging moist and fork-tender. The shanks are first browned in olive oil to give them color and enhance the taste. The ripe, full-bodied complexity of the "Old Vines" Grenache will complement the wonderfully rich flavors of the dish, and the rosemary in the recipe will pick up the pine forest notes in the wine.

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 3h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 lamb shanks, external fat trimmed
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 yellow onions, diced
2 celery ribs, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 cups full-bodied red wine
1 cup beef stock
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
3 garlic cloves, crushed with the side of a knife
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350ºF.
  • Season the lamb shanks with salt and pepper. In a large, deep sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil until nearly smoking. Working in batches if needed, brown the shanks on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a platter.
  • Add the onions, celery and carrots to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are golden and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, add the wine and return the pan to medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the pan bottom. Add the stock, rosemary, garlic, bay leaf and shanks and bring to a boil. Cover the pan, transfer to the oven and cook until the meat is almost falling off the bone, about 2 hours. Using tongs, transfer the shanks to a large serving bowl.
  • Remove the bay leaf from the cooking liquid. Using a blender or a stick blender, puree the liquid and solids until smooth. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Pour some of the sauce over the shanks and pass the rest alongside.

BRAISED LAMB SHANKS WITH TOMATOES AND ROSEMARY



Braised Lamb Shanks with Tomatoes and Rosemary image

Categories     Lamb     Onion     Tomato     Braise     Rosemary     White Wine     Fall     Kosher     Parsley     Gourmet

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 lamb shanks (about 1 pound each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups chopped onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
two 28-to-32-ounce cans tomatoes, drained and chopped
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons crumbled dried rosemary
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves

Steps:

  • Pat the lamb shanks dry, season them with salt and pepper, and in a large heavy kettle brown them, 3 at a time, in the oil over moderately high heat, transferring them as they are browned to a roasting pan just large enough to hold them in one layer. To the kettle add the onion, cook it over moderate heat, stirring, until it is softened, and stir in the garlic. Cook the mixture for 3 minutes, stir in the tomatoes, the wine, the broth, the dried rosemary, the allspice, and salt and pepper to taste, and bring the sauce to a boil. Ladle the sauce over the lamb shanks. Braise the shanks, covered tightly with foil, in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 1 1/2 hours, or until they are tender, transfer them to a heatproof platter, and keep them warm, covered. Pour the sauce into the kettle, cleaned, and boil it for 10 minutes, or until it is reduced to about 4 cups. The lamb shanks and the sauce may be made 2 days in advance, cooled to room temperature, and both kept in the roasting pan, covered and chilled. Heat the lamb shanks in the sauce in a preheated 350°F. oven until they are hot and transfer the shanks to the heatproof platter. Into the sauce stir 2 teaspoons of the parsley and 2 teaspoons of the fresh rosemary. Divide the shanks among 6 heated plates, spoon the sauce over them, and sprinkle it with the remaining parsley and fresh rosemary.

  • Use a variety of vegetables and herbs to create a flavorful braising liquid. Common additions include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
  • Red wine is a classic choice for braising lamb shanks, but you can also use white wine, beer, or broth.
  • Braising time will vary depending on the size of the lamb shanks. Generally, you should braise them for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
