How To make Braised Lamb Shanks
2 tb Olive oil
4 Lamb shanks, about 12 oz ea.
1 md Onion; finely diced
2 md Carrots; finely diced
2 Celery stalks; thinly sliced
1 tb Finely minced garlic
1 1/2 c Dry red wine
1 c Water
1 Lemon; cut in half
1/2 tb Salt
1/2 ts Freshly ground black pepper
PREHEAT OVEN TO 325F. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a heavy roasting pan or Dutch oven large enough to hold the shanks in 1 layer on the stove. Add the shanks and cook 10 minutes on each side. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat; add the onion, carrot and celery and cook 5 minutes. Add the garlic, wine, water, lemon, salt and pepper. Cover and place in the oven. Cook 1 1/2 hours or until tender. Turn the lamb every 30 minutes and check to ensure that the liquid has not evaporated. If the pan is dry, add another cup of water. When lamb is tender, remove the shanks from the sauce, strain the sauce through a fine sieve and discard the vegetables. Skim and discard fat from the surface of the braising liquid. To serve, arrange the shanks on a platter and serve the braising liquid on the side.

Braised Lamb Shanks with roasted garlic
Falling off the bone tender! there's no need to explain the monumental culinary achievement that is lamb shank. This cut of meat is taken from the lower portion of a lamb's leg, and when cooked right, results in melt in your mouth flavour.
Cooking this flavourful cut requires something special such as braising, a process which characteristically involves searing it at a high heat followed by slow cooking it in liquid; preferably a gorgeous red wine sauce enhanced with an irresistibly fragrant flurry of garlic.
With a slow-cooking technique, this dish is sure to become an unforgettable culinary masterpiece bursting with mouthwatering flavour. Combined with boiled root vegetables, creamy mashed potatoes, polenta, couscous or pureed cauliflower for the perfect texture contrast, it's a guilt-free indulgence that can't be beat!

Professional Chef's Best Braised Lamb Shanks Recipe!
The secret to cooking the best lamb shank you've ever had is braising! Not familiar with braising or a need a friendly reminder? Chef Michael Smith has you covered with this step by step recipe that will have your guests swooning over the depth of flavour and warm delicious texture of your braised lamb!
Ingredients
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
4 lamb shanks
12 shallots, peeled and left whole
1 heads garlic, peeled into cloves then halved
2 carrots, peeled, cut in 3 or 4 large pieces each
2 parsnips, peeled, cut in 3 or 4 large pieces each
1 turnip, peeled, chopped into large chunks
12 baby potatoes, whole
1 750 mL bottle of your favourite red wine
2 bay leaves
2 sprig rosemary
1 Tbsp juniper berries
1 tsp salt
Recipe
1. Place a large Dutch oven or stew pot over medium-high heat with enough oil to fill the bottom with a thin pool. Carefully add the lamb shanks to the hot oil and brown well on both sides. Be patient! This is the only opportunity you’ll have to add the rich flavours of browned meat to the dish before the liquids are added.
2. When the shanks are nicely browned, pile in the shallots, garlic, carrots, parsnips, turnip and potatoes. Add a full bottle of red wine along with the bay leaf, rosemary, juniper berries and salt. Bring the works to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a low simmer, cover and continue simmering over the lowest heat until the shanks are fork tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Place a shank in each serving bowl, spoon in lots of vegetables and pour in steaming ladlefuls of the aromatic broth. Serve and share.

The Only Lamb Shanks Recipe that Matters
Sink your teeth into this incredibly delicious, braised lamb shanks recipe that is slow-cooked in an amazingly flavored broth. I served these tasty shanks up with some of my creamy risotto and it is outstanding.
Lamb shanks are cut from the leg of the lamb and tend to be a tougher cut of meat. It is best slow-cooked for longer periods of time to help break down the meat. It will become melt in your mouth good as this is one of my all-time favorite dishes.
You can purchase lamb shanks from any butcher shop and most grocery stores will carry them as well. They cost roughly 10-12 per pound while 1 lamb shank weighs about 12 ounces, with about 3-4 of those ounces being the bone. One shank will easily and fully feed 1 person.
