EASY BRAISED LAMB SHANKS RECIPE



Easy Braised Lamb Shanks Recipe image

Super tender, perfectly spiced braised lamb shanks and vegetables in a rich red wine sauce. Cooking lamb shanks is easier than you might think. Simply season, sear, and braise! It's the perfect lamb shank recipe for a small gathering! A dry red wine is your best bet for the red wine sauce. (Merlot is my favorite here, but a Cabernet Sauvignon would work well, too.) Serve rosemary lamb shanks with couscous, Lebanese rice, or pita to soak up all the delicious sauce. Start this rich, meaty dinner with a big bright salad like arugula salad or white bean salad.

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon sweet Spanish paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 American lamb shanks
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, (roughly chopped)
2 celery ribs, (chopped)
3 large carrots, (peeled and cut into large pieces)
1 pound baby potatoes, (scrubbed)
2 cups red wine like Merlot
3 cups low-sodium beef broth
28- ounce can peeled tomatoes
2 cinnamon sticks
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, add all the spice mix ingredients and mix to combine.
  • Pat the lamb shanks dry and season with the spice mix on all sides.
  • In a large Dutch oven pot like this one, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown the lamb shanks on all sides (about 8 mins or so). Transfer the lamb shanks to a large tray or bowl for now. Carefully dispose of extra fat in a separate heat-safe bowl, and return the pot to heat.
  • Now add the onions, celery, carrots and potatoes. Saute for 5-7 minutes on medium-high, or until the vegetables gain some color. Add red wine, scrape the pot of brown bits. Cook briefly so that the wine reduces a bit.
  • Add the broth, tomatoes, cinnamon sticks, thyme, and rosemary. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper. Return lamb shanks back to the pot; press down to submerge. Boil for 10 minutes. Turn heat off.
  • Cover the pot and transfer to the 350 degrees F-heated oven. Cook in the oven for 2 1/2 hours (It's a good idea to check periodically through cooking just in case you need to add a little more liquid. When the shanks finish cooking, the liquid will have reduced to about 1/3 of what it was when you started.)
  • While the lamb shanks are cooking, prepare rice according to this recipe, or prepare 2-3 cups of orzo pasta according to package instructions.
  • Serve the lamb shanks hot with a little of the veggies and braising sauce on top of rice or orzo pasta. You might also like to prepare a side salad like this 3-ingredient Mediterranean salad or Fattoush. Enjoy!

LAMB IN THE SLOW COOKER



Lamb in the Slow Cooker image

We adore Australian or New Zealand lamb, which has more flavor than the blander US lamb. So I was happy to have been given this simple recipe using a Crock-Pot®. Great served with mashed potatoes.

SLOW-COOKER LAMB SHANKS



Slow-cooker lamb shanks image

Make this slow-cooker lamb shank recipe for chilly evenings when you need something simple and hearty. Serve with mash, fettuccine or a crispy baked potato

Provided by Lulu Grimes

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 5h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 lamb shanks
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp tomato purée
250ml light red wine (such as pinot noir)
2 tbsp plain flour
500ml stock, vegetable, chicken or lamb
2 carrots, chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled
2 bay leaves
2 thyme sprigs
1 bunch parsley, leaves chopped separately to the stalks

Steps:

  • If you need to preheat your slow cooker then turn it on now. In a large hot frying pan, add half the oil and brown the lamb shanks all over, then transfer them to the slow cooker. This will take you about 10 mins and you may need to do it in batches. Add the remaining oil to the frying pan and fry the onion gently until it starts to turn translucent, then stir in the tomato purée and flour and cook for a minute.
  • Add the red wine and bring it to a boil, stirring the flour and purée into the wine until you have a smooth sauce around the onion pieces. Tip into the slow cooker. Pour the stock into the same pan and bring it to a boil, then tip into the slow cooker. Add the carrots garlic, bay leaves, thyme and parsley stalks to the slow cooker and put the lid on. Cook on low for eight hours or on high for four hours. Turn the shanks over at some point during the cooking.
  • After eight hours the lamb should be tender and starting to fall off the bone. If the sauce is too thin lift out the lamb and carrots and tip the sauce into a pan, boil it rapidly until it starts to thicken before adding the parsley.

CROCK POT LAMB SHANKS



Crock Pot Lamb Shanks image

Modified version of a recipe I found on the 'net that I thought turned out great. Apart from a few small changes to seasoning the original recipe called for a cup of wine rather than beer, sometimes I feel with tomato that makes things a bit rich when slow-cooked and I thought the beer substitution worked well. If you don't want to use beer try a cup of beef stock instead of the stock powder / beer. Also whole garlic cooked this way doesn't taste strong at all, if you want it to have a strong garlic taste you'd need to crush some of it.

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 8h20m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 kg lamb shank (4 medium shanks)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 medium brown onions, sliced
12 garlic cloves, peeled
200 g mushrooms, coarsely sliced
1 cup beer
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons beef stock powder
400 g crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf, broken into quarters

Steps:

  • Heat oil in pan over medium to high heat and brown lamb shanks on all sides.
  • Season lamb shanks with pepper.
  • Place sliced onions at bottom of crock pot and put lamb shanks on top drizzled with remaining oil and juices from the pan.
  • Place mushrooms and garlic cloves over the top.
  • Mix beer, Worcestershire sauce, stock powder, tomatoes, oregano, basil, thyme and bay leaf in a bowl.
  • Pour mixture over the top of lamb shanks.
  • Cook in crock pot on low for 6-8 hours depending on your crock pot.
  • Remove bay leaves.
  • Serve with vegetables and juices poured over the top of the shanks. I served over wholegrain bread but mashed potatoes would be the best match.

SLOW-COOKED LAMB SHANKS AND TOMATOES



Slow-Cooked Lamb Shanks and Tomatoes image

A long, gentle simmer slowly breaks down tougher cuts like lamb shank, leaving the meat flavorful, succulent, and tender.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Lamb Recipes

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium onions, halved and thinly sliced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
5 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
5 large tomatoes (about 4 1/2 pounds total), coarsely chopped, or 2 cans (28 ounces each) plus 1 can (15 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes
4 lamb shanks (about 4 pounds total)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high. Add onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes (if using canned, break them up) and cook until they break down, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Place lamb shanks in pot in a single layer so each shank is covered by sauce. Bring to a boil, cover, then place pot in oven. Cook until meat is very tender and falling off bones, about 3 1/2 hours. Skim fat from cooking liquid and season lamb with salt and pepper. Serve lamb with sauce.

LAMB OSSO BUCO SLOW-COOKED



Lamb Osso Buco Slow-Cooked image

There are two tricks to this recipe: browning the lamb shanks before they go into the slow cooker and reducing the sauce before serving. The result is an osso buco you'd be hard-pressed to distinguish from the labor-intensive classic.

Provided by Nancy Powlowsky

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Lamb     Shanks

Time 6h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup all-purpose flour
2 ½ pounds lamb shanks
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup dry white wine
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 ½ cups chopped onion
¾ cup chicken broth
½ cup chopped celery
5 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed

Steps:

  • Put flour into a shallow wide bowl. Season lamb shanks all over with salt and pepper; dredge through the flour until coated, shaking off any excess flour.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat; add butter and heat until foaming. Cook lamb shanks in the hot butter until golden, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer lamb shanks to a slow cooker.
  • Pour wine into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon; transfer to the slow cooker. Add tomatoes with their juice, onion, chicken broth, celery, and thyme leaves to slow cooker.
  • Cook on Low until lamb is very tender and almost falling off the bone, 6 to 8 hours. Transfer lamb shanks to a platter and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Transfer the sauce in the slow cooker to a large skillet; simmer over high heat until sauce is reduced to about 2 cups, 10 to 15 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
