Lamb Osso Buco Slow-Cooked image

There are two tricks to this recipe: browning the lamb shanks before they go into the slow cooker and reducing the sauce before serving. The result is an osso buco you'd be hard-pressed to distinguish from the labor-intensive classic.

Time 6h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup all-purpose flour
2 ½ pounds lamb shanks
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup dry white wine
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 ½ cups chopped onion
¾ cup chicken broth
½ cup chopped celery
5 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed

Steps:

  • Put flour into a shallow wide bowl. Season lamb shanks all over with salt and pepper; dredge through the flour until coated, shaking off any excess flour.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat; add butter and heat until foaming. Cook lamb shanks in the hot butter until golden, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer lamb shanks to a slow cooker.
  • Pour wine into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon; transfer to the slow cooker. Add tomatoes with their juice, onion, chicken broth, celery, and thyme leaves to slow cooker.
  • Cook on Low until lamb is very tender and almost falling off the bone, 6 to 8 hours. Transfer lamb shanks to a platter and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Transfer the sauce in the slow cooker to a large skillet; simmer over high heat until sauce is reduced to about 2 cups, 10 to 15 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper.

This is a great recipe for a special occasion. It's a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The lamb was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it over mashed potatoes and it was a hit with my family.

This lamb osso buco was fall-off-the-bone tender and flavorful. The sauce was rich and savory, and the gremolata added a nice brightness and freshness. I served it over mashed potatoes and it was a hit with my family.
