CHEF JOHN'S BRAISED LAMB SHANKS

You don't often see lamb cooked with these spices, but they really work together wonderfully. The final plate ended up being a sort of North African/Central American fusion thing, with the fragrantly spiced meat and peppers resting on a simple bed of couscous.

Time 2h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 lamb shanks
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup chicken broth
3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
½ cup chicken broth
¼ cup chopped cilantro
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Generously season lamb shanks with salt and black pepper.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Place lamb shanks in the Dutch oven, cook, turning, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer shanks to a plate. Drain off remaining oil and fat so only 1 tablespoon remains in the Dutch oven.
  • Stir onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt into the Dutch oven; decrease heat to medium-low and cook, stirring, until onions are softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tomato paste, chipotle chile powder, ancho chile powder, and ground cinnamon; stir to combine.
  • Pour 1 cup chicken broth over onion mixture. Increase heat to high; when liquid boils, place lamb shanks in Dutch oven. Cover and cook in the preheated oven for 90 minutes.
  • Remove Dutch oven and stir in jalapeno pepper, red bell pepper and 1/2 cup chicken stock; bring to a boil on the stovetop. Return pan to the oven and cook, uncovered, until lamb shanks are fork tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer lamb to plate.
  • Place Dutch oven on the stovetop over high heat; bring liquid to a boil and cook, skimming off any foam, until liquid is reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in cilantro; season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon sauce over lamb shanks and serve.

BRAISED LAMB SHANKS WITH MINT AND FLAGEOLETS

Provided by Moira Hodgson

Categories     dinner, project, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 lamb shanks
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
4 tablespoons olive oil
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 pound flageolets
4 cups water
Flour for dredging
1 large onion, sliced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 cup white-wine vinegar
1 cup dry white wine
2 cups chicken stock
Coarse salt to taste
Chopped fresh mint leaves to garnish

Steps:

  • Wipe the lamb shanks dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with the garlic, rosemary, mint, thyme and two tablespoons olive oil. Season with pepper and marinate overnight. Rinse and pick over the flageolets. Soak overnight in water.
  • The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat the remaining olive oil. Dredge lamb shanks in flour and brown them on all sides.
  • Remove the lamb and add the onions with the garlic from the marinade. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the onions are soft. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, white wine and chicken stock. Bring to a boil and scrape up the cooking juices. Add the lamb shanks, which should fit in one layer, and bake in the oven for two hours, covered or until tender. A large cast-iron casserole is good for this.
  • Meanwhile, bring the beans to a boil, drain them and add four cups of fresh cold water. Simmer for about an hour or until cooked. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • When the lamb shanks are cooked, remove them from the sauce. Reduce the sauce so that it is thick enough to coat the shanks without being too soupy. Put the beans on the outer edges of a serving dish and put the shanks in the middle. Top them with the sauce and sprinkle with the fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful ingredients to ensure the best taste. Look for high-quality lamb, crisp radishes, and fragrant mint.
  • Brown the lamb before braising: Browning the lamb adds depth of flavor and color to the dish. Make sure to get a good sear on all sides of the meat before adding the braising liquid.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for radishes, but you can also add other vegetables like carrots, celery, or turnips. Choose vegetables that will hold their shape during the braising process.
  • Don't overcook the lamb: Lamb is a tender meat, so it's important not to overcook it. Braise the lamb until it is fall-off-the-bone tender, but not so long that it becomes dry and tough.
  • Serve with a flavorful sauce: The braising liquid makes a delicious sauce for the lamb. Serve the lamb with the sauce spooned over top.

Conclusion:

Braised lamb with radishes and mint is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The lamb is tender and fall-off-the-bone, and the radishes and mint add a refreshing brightness to the dish. Serve with a side of mashed potatoes or rice for a complete meal.
