INGREDIENTS

  • Meat

    • 4 (1 pound) lamb shanks

  • Vegetables

    • 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 sprig thyme
    • 1 sprig rosemary

  • Staples

    • ½ cup olive oil
    • ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
    • 3 cups chicken stock
    • 1 ½ cups red wine
    • 🧂 1 pinch sea salt to taste

  • Spices

    • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

2

Heat olive oil in a heavy, metal roasting pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Toss shanks with flour to coat well; then shake off excess. Sear shanks in hot oil until well browned on all sides, then remove from the pan and set aside.

3

Add celery, carrots, onion, leek, and garlic to the roasting pan. Cook until softened and lightly browned, stirring constantly; about 5 minutes. Season with bay leaf, peppercorns, thyme, and rosemary. Pour in chicken stock and red wine, increase heat to high, and bring to a simmer. Season to taste with salt. Place the lamb shanks on top of the vegetables.

4

Cover the roasting pan tightly with heavy aluminum foil and place into the preheated oven. Bake gently until meat is tender and falls off the bone, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

5

Remove bay leaf and herb stems before serving shanks with vegetables and sauce.
