Braised Lamb Shanks
Contributed by: Melinda
I do this in my slow cooker, but some day I'll try them in the oven at about 250 to see how they turn out.
3 lamb shanks, fat on
1/2 cup fruity red wine
1 cup beef broth
3 tbl dijon mustard
2 tsp lemon or orange zest
3 tbl minced fresh rosemary
1 onion, chopped
6-10 cloves garlic, chopped
- Mix red wine, beef broth and dijon mustard and add to slow-cooker pan
- Place shanks in pan covering the bottom
- Sprinkle onion, citrus zest, garlic and rosemary over and around
- Cover and cook on high for 4 hours, reduce heat to low turn shanks over and cook for 6-7 more hours
- Remove meat and bones (which will be completely falling apart) - discard bones
- Transfer pan juices to a saucepan - try to remove as much fat as possible
- Reduce sauce slightly and serve with the meat
