Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 lbs lamb shanks
2 onions
2 zucchini
6 carrots
2 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons basil
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon mint
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup dry white wine

1/2 teaspoon pepper

  • Stir in garlic, basil, oregano, mint, tomato sauce, and wine. Heat to boiling. Add lamb shanks and press them into the sauce.
  • Cover, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer 3-3 1/2 hours, until lamb is very tender and falls away from the bone.
  • Stir in lemon juice, olives, and pepper. Serve over orzo or rice.

This recipe was a disaster! The lamb shanks were tough and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but the lamb shanks were cooked perfectly. I would make this again, but I would use less chili powder.

This lamb shank recipe is a keeper! The meat 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. I will definitely be making this again.
