Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 Lamb shanks
Salt
1 tablespoon Canola oil
2 medium Onions sliced thick
3 medium Carrots peeled
2 ribs Celery
4 Garlic minced
2 tablespoon Tomato paste
1 tablespoon Herbes de Provence
2 cup Dry Red Wine
3 cup Chicken Stock
Black pepper Pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350 F. Sprinkle shanks with salt. Heat oil in deep, large, nonreactive, oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Add shanks to pan in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. saute until browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Using tongs, transfer shanks to a plate as they brown. 2. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the pan; add onions, carrots, celery, garlic, tomato paste, 1 teaspoon of herbes de Provence, and a light sprinkling of salt; saute vegetables to soften slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Add red wine, then chicken stock to pan, stirring with wooden spoon to loosen browned bits from bottom. Bring liquid to simmer. Add shanks, season with salt, pepper and remaining 2 teaspoons herbes de Provence. 3. Cover pan (with foil if pan has no lid) and transfer it to the oven; braise shanks for 1 1/2 hours. Uncover and continue braising until shank tops are browned, about 30 minutes. Turn shanks and braise until other side is browned and shanks are fall-off-the-bone tender. 4. Remove pan from oven; let shanks rest for at least 15 minutes. With tongs, carefully transfer a shank to each of 6 plates. Arrange a portion of vegetables around each shank. Skim excess fat from braising liquid and adjust seasoning. Spoon braising liquid over each shank and serve.

ROSEMARY BRAISED LAMB SHANKS



Rosemary Braised Lamb Shanks image

Lamb shanks are slowly simmered with fresh rosemary, garlic, tomatoes, and red wine. Great served with polenta, or my family's favorite--roasted garlic mashed potatoes--as you need something to soak up the wonderful sauce. A fantastic dish for company, as all the prep work is done at the beginning, and then you just have to wait.

RED WINE-BRAISED LAMB SHANKS



Red Wine-Braised Lamb Shanks image

Categories     Wine     Lamb     Tomato     Braise     Valentine's Day     Winter     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 lamb shanks (about 3 1/2 pounds)
1 large onion, chopped
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1 28-ounce can ready-cut tomatoes
1 1/2 cups dry red wine
1 teaspoon dried marjoram, crumbled

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb shanks to skillet and cook until brown, turning occasionally, about 12 minutes.
  • Transfer lamb to plate. Reduce heat to low. Add onion and garlic to skillet and sauté until tender, about 6 minutes. Return lamb to skillet. Pour in tomatoes with their juices and red wine. Stir in marjoram. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer until lamb is very tender, turning lamb shanks occasionally, about 2 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Return to boil before continuing.)Uncover and boil liquid until reduced to sauce consistency if necessary.

Tips:

  • Sear the lamb shanks before braising. This will help to develop a rich, flavorful crust on the meat.
  • Use a good quality red wine for braising. A full-bodied wine with a high tannin content, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will add depth and complexity to the sauce.
  • Add plenty of vegetables to the braising liquid. Vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions will help to flavor the sauce and add sweetness to the dish.
  • Use a bouquet garni to infuse the braising liquid with herbs. A bouquet garni is a bundle of herbs tied together with kitchen twine. Common herbs used in a bouquet garni for lamb shanks include thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
  • Braise the lamb shanks for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender. The longer you braise the lamb shanks, the more tender they will be.
  • Serve the lamb shanks with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
