Lamb Shanks Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Rub the lamb shanks with flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Heat the butter and oil in a skillet. Brown the lamb on all sides, then transfer to a casserole. To the same skillet add the onions and cook, stirring, until wilted. Add the celery, carrot, and garlic and cook briefly. Stir in the wine and pour the mixture over the shanks.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste. Cover closely and bake 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the meat is fork tender.

    I have a small fear of lamb, had one bad experience, and swore it off for a few years, but this sounds good, and much like linebb956, I feel as though I should keep trying.... :)

    This is a great recipe! I used to own a sheep ranch and we'd make this dish a lot. Most of our shepherds were Basque and this was their staple. Best wine for this believe it or not is the big gallon jugs of cheap burgandy.

    The shepherds used burgandy for everything. Even replaced the vinegar in a oil and vinegar dressing.

    I remember those days fondly. We finally quit raising sheep as everyone thought "New Zealand" lamb was better. At one time we had over 5000 ewes.
