LAMB SHANKS WITH WHITE WINE image

Categories     Lamb

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 sprigs of fresh rosemary
• 150g cold butter
• 15 fresh sage leaves
• 2 sprigs of fresh thyme, leaves picked
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4 lamb shanks, preferably free-range or organic, crown- or French-trimmed
• 12 cloves of garlic, unpeeled
• 2 large carrots, peeled and finely sliced
• 1 onion, peeled and finely sliced
• 1 leek, washed, halved and finely sliced
olive oil
• 2 wineglasses of white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4. Pick the leaves off 2 sprigs of rosemary, whiz them with the butter, most of the sage and the thyme in a food processor and season with salt and pepper. Using a small knife, take one of the lamb shanks and cut between the meat and the bone from the base of the shank upwards. You want to create a hole big enough to put your finger in, making a sort of pocket. Do this to all the shanks and divide the flavored butter between them, pushing it into the pockets. This will give a wonderful flavor to the heart of the shanks. Tear off four arm-length pieces of tinfoil and fold each in half to give you four A3-sized pieces of foil. Divide the garlic and veg between them, making a pile in the middle of each square. Rub the lamb shanks with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, then put one on top of each pile of veg and a sprig of rosemary and a few sage leaves on top of that. Carefully pull up the sides of the foil around the shank and pour a swig of wine into each. Gather the foil around the bone, pinching it together tightly. Any excess foil can be torn or cut off with scissors. Repeat for all 4 shanks, then place the foil parcels on a baking tray with the bones facing up. Put in the preheated oven for 2½ hours or until the meat is as tender as can be. Serve the parcels in the middle of the table so that your guests can open them up themselves.

The lamb shanks took longer to cook than the recipe said. I had to add an extra 30 minutes to the cooking time.

The sauce was a bit too thick for my liking. I would recommend using less cornstarch next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and herbs to give it more flavor.
