Tender and flavorful lamb shanks slow-cooked to perfection, served with a rich herb-infused gravy.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lamb shanks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 2 cups beef or vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients – Gather all your ingredients, chop the vegetables, and mince the garlic.
  2. Sear the Lamb Shanks – In a large skillet, heat olive oil and sear the lamb shanks until browned on all sides.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables – In the same skillet, add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened.
  4. Deglaze with Red Wine – Pour red wine into the pan and scrape the bottom to remove flavorful bits.
  5. Add Remaining Ingredients – Add broth, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

Notes

To enhance flavors, consider using fresh herbs instead of dried. Leftovers can be stored for up to 3 days and taste even better after a day.
