Lamb Shank Recipe
Is sheep to cute to be served at our tables or should we simply close our eyes? Let's make some delicious Lamb Shank and enjoy the ride!
Ingredients
- ½ cup Cooking oil
- 5 lb Lamb shanks
- 3 pieces Onion finely diced
- 2 pieces Carrot finely diced
- 1 stalk Celery finely diced
- 6 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cloves Garlic finely diced
- 21 oz Tomato quartered
- 2½ cup Red wine
- 2 cups Water
- 3 sprigs Thyme
- 2 Bay leaf
Instructions
- Heat some of the oil and sear the lamb shanks on all sides.
- Add more oil then on high heat saute the diced onion, carrot, celery and salt until the onion gets a glassy / translucent look.
- Add garlic, lower the heat and stir fry until the onion starts to caramelize, 10 - 15 minutes.
- Increase the heat then add the diced up tomato. Stir-fry until the tomato starts to fall apart, 5 - 10 minutes.
- Pour in the red wine, water, add the thyme and bay leaves too then bring it to boil.
- Place the lid on, reduce the heat and simmer until the meat comes off the bone, about 2 hours.
- Take the meat out, press the vegetables through a sieve if short on time, just blend them together.
- Put the meat onto an ovenproof dish, ladle some sauce around and on top of the meat.
- Place it under the broiler's highest temperature until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Notes
Lamb shanks are traditionally served with mashed potatoes but tasty with simple salad or cauliflower mash too!
