Provided by Mark Bittman

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 lamb shanks, about 1 pound each
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly groundblack pepper
1/2 cup good white wine or stock

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, brown shanks well in oil; this will take as long as half an hour (you can cover the pan to avoid spattering). Sprinkle with salt and pepper as they cook.
  • Lower the heat, pour off the excess fat, add the wine or stock. Simmer over low heat for 1½ to 2 hours, covered, turning and adding water, about ¼ cup at a time, as necessary, until the meat is falling of the bone.
  • Cool. Take meat off the bone and reserve the liquid. When the liquid is cool, skim the fat and reserve the juice. Use meat and juice in the following recipes: Tomato Sauce With Lamb and Pasta; Indian Lamb Curry With Basmati Rice; Chinese Braised Lamb Shanks.
