About Braised lamb shanks

Braised Lamb Shanks are a rich, slow-cooked dish rooted in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Typically made by searing lamb shanks and simmering them in a flavorful combination of broth, wine, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and an array of aromatic herbs and spices like rosemary and thyme. The dish develops tender, fall-off-the-bone meat, infused with deep, savory flavors. Lamb is an excellent source of protein, iron, and zinc, contributing to muscle repair and immune health. It also provides B vitamins, which support energy metabolism. However, lamb shanks can be high in saturated fat, so moderation is key for balanced nutrition. When paired with vegetables and whole grains, this dish offers a nourishing and satisfying meal that blends taste and tradition.
