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.

ROSEMARY LAMB SHANKS

This is our favorite recipe for lamb shanks. I always double the sauce because we love to have some over mashed potatoes. The sauce takes a while to make, so you can make it a day ahead if you like. From the Bijou Cafe, Sarasota FL, courtesy of Bon Appetit.

  • Brown the lamb shanks before braising: This step helps to develop flavor and color. You can brown the shanks in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid: The liquid that you use to braise the lamb shanks will greatly impact the flavor of the dish. Common choices include red wine, beef broth, and chicken broth. You can also add herbs, spices, and vegetables to the braising liquid for extra flavor.
  • Braise the lamb shanks until they are fall-off-the-bone tender: This usually takes 2-3 hours, but may vary depending on the size and thickness of the shanks. You can check for doneness by inserting a fork into the meat. If it slides in easily, the shanks are ready.
  • Serve the lamb shanks with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and rice are all great options. You can also spoon the braising liquid over the shanks before serving.

Conclusion:

Rosemary lamb shanks are a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a cozy night in. The lamb shanks are braised in a flavorful liquid until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. Serve them with your favorite sides and enjoy!
