Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lamb shanks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 cup apple vinegar
  • 2 cups beef or lamb stock
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Season the lamb shanks with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the shanks until browned on all sides (about 4-5 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, sauté the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic until softened (about 5-7 minutes). Stir in tomato paste for one minute.
  4. Deglaze with apple vinegar, scraping up any browned bits for about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Return the shanks to the pot and add stock until just covered. Toss in rosemary sprigs and bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Cover and braise in the oven for about 2-3 hours until the meat is tender.
  7. For the roasted garlic puree, roast garlic cloves at 400°F (200°C) until soft (around 30 minutes), then blend with olive oil until smooth.
