SLOW COOKED LAMB SHANKS IN RED WINE
My slightly varied version of Gary Rhodes delicious Lamb Shank recipe. Truly mouth-watering moist and tender! I've made this a few times now. The first time I made this I used a medium bodied wine and it turned out just as fantastic. If you want to make this exactly like Gary's then only use 1 carrot, 2 cloves garlic, 1 sprig of rosemary, do all the stovetop and oven cooking in large stew pan or dutch oven, use beef consommé instead of beef stock and the thickening of the red wine sauce is optional. This is a truly wonderful meal and worthy of a dinner party, special occasion or just a romantic meal. I hope you like it as much as we do.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality lamb shanks: Look for shanks that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that they are tender and flavorful.
- Brown the shanks before braising: Browning the shanks in a hot pan before braising them will help to develop their flavor and create a rich, caramelized crust.
- Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is an important part of this dish, so be sure to use a flavorful combination of ingredients. This recipe uses red wine, chicken stock, and herbs, but you can also use other liquids such as beer, beef broth, or vegetable broth.
- Braise the shanks until they are fall-off-the-bone tender: The shanks should be braised for at least 2 hours, or until they are very tender. You can check the tenderness of the shanks by piercing them with a fork. If the fork goes in easily, the shanks are done.
- Serve the shanks with your favorite sides: Red wine and herb lamb shanks can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
Conclusion:
Red wine and herb lamb shanks are a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The shanks are braised in a flavorful red wine and herb sauce until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. Serve them with your favorite sides for a memorable meal.
