Equipment
- Sharp kitchen knife
- Large Casserole Pot
- Wooden Spoon
- Measuring Jug
- Tongs
Ingredients
- Large Lamb Shanks 4
- Medium Onions 2
- Large Carrots 3
- Garlic 3 Cloves
- Red Wine 300 ML
- Beef Stock 500 ML
- Tomato Puree 2 Tbsp
- Sprigs Fresh Rosemary 2
- Olive Oil 2 Tbsp
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160 degrees Celsius. Season your lamb shanks with salt and pepper. Rub the seasoning into the meat very well.
- Heat oil in your large casserole pot. Place the lamb shanks in the hot oil. Brown them on all sides until dark gold.
- Remove the meat and set it aside. Add the onions and carrots to the pot. Fry them until they start to soften slightly.
- Stir in the garlic and the tomato puree. Cook these for just one or two minutes. This removes the raw taste of the puree.
- Pour in the red wine and the stock. Add the rosemary sprigs to the liquid now. Stir everything together to mix the flavors well.
- Put the lamb shanks back into the pot. Make sure the liquid covers most of the meat. Bring the liquid to a very gentle simmer.
- Put the lid on the pot very tightly. Place the pot in the preheated oven. Cook it for two and a half hours.
- Check the meat after the time is up. It should be very tender and soft. Remove the lid for the final thirty minutes.
Notes
- Brown the lamb shanks very well for extra flavor.
- Use a heavy pot to keep the heat even.
- Do not rush the long slow cooking process today.
- Check the liquid levels halfway through the cooking time.
- Let the meat rest for ten minutes before serving.
