Add Step-by-Step Photos	Notyourmomma / All my dishes 2 years ago My husband's all time favorite meal, I say this serves four, but in reality, he will eat two of the shanks on his own! Garlic mashed potatoes for him, mashed cauliflower for me. The mushrooms are so flavorful too. Prep:20m Cook:540m Servings:4	Notyourmomm

Ingredients

4 lamb shanks

3 tablespoons of olive oil

1 lb. of crimini mushrooms, halved

4 leeks, cleaned and chopped in larger usual pieces

6 cloves of garlic sliced super thin

1 branch of rosemary fresh, or 1 tsp of dried

1 tablespoon of balsalmic vinegar

2 cups of shiraz wine, or other red wine of choice

salt and pepper

grated rind of one lemon

2 tbsp of chopped parsley

6-8 mint leaves

1 minced garlic clove, chopped in some salt

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet.

Rub the lamb shanks with salt and pepper lightly.

Brown the lamb shanks in the hot oil until browned on all sides.

Do in batches, no way they will fit at once, at least not in any pot I own.

Put in slow cooker (I have an oval cooker and they fit beautifully)

In the drippings left in the skillet, add the mushrooms, garlic and leeks, cook slightly. Add to slow cooker.

Add balsalmic vinegar and wine to the skillet, using a wooden spoon scrape up all the goodies on the bottom of the skillet.

Add to slow cooker along with the rosemary branch.

Cover and cook on low 8 - 9 hours.

Mix the lemon rind, parsley, mint and minced garlic clove.

When you remove the lamb shanks to the platter, sprinkle with the gremolata mix (parsley garlic, mint & lemon rind)

Best served over mashed potatoes (mashed cauliflower) or a wide egg noodle to catch the wine and mushroom sauce.

Thank you for the recipe. I'm going to try it tonight. I usually cook lamb shanks in a tomato reduction sauce; I think this will be a nice difference.
