Description

This recipe for lamb shanks in the oven is simply gorgeous because it's so comforting. The meat is slow-cooked in a generous amount of red wine. Preparation is easy too — it goes from the stovetop to the oven. This is best served with the pan juices poured over creamy mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, risotto, or even soft polenta.

Ingredient:

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 4 (1 pound) lamb shanks
  • ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 onions, cut into chunks
  • 1 leek, halved and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 12 cloves garlic, unpeeled
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
  • 1 sprig thyme
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 1 ½ cups red wine
  • 1 pinch sea salt to taste
