Ingredients

• 4 lamb shanks
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Pat the lamb shanks dry with a paper towel and set them aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together cumin, coriander, cinnamon, paprika, turmeric, ginger, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture all over the lamb shanks, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Sear the lamb shanks in the pot for 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion to the pot. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened.

Step 8

Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 9

Add the chicken broth, honey, and lemon juice to the pot, scraping any browned bits from the bottom.

Step 10

Return the lamb shanks to the pot, ensuring they are partially submerged in the liquid. Cover with a lid.

Step 11

Transfer the pot to the preheated oven and roast for 1.5 to 2 hours, turning the lamb shanks halfway through, until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

Step 12

Remove the lid during the last 15 minutes of cooking to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 13

Once cooked, carefully remove the lamb shanks from the pot and skim off any excess fat from the sauce.

Step 14

Serve the lamb shanks drizzled with the sauce and garnished with fresh cilantro and parsley.
