Ingredients

• 4 pieces Lamb shanks
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Onion, chopped
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Carrot, chopped
• 2 pieces Celery stalks, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 cup Red wine
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 1 piece Bay leaf
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 3 sprigs Fresh thyme

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

Pat the lamb shanks dry with paper towels and season them generously with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a large ovenproof pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the lamb shanks two at a time, browning them on all sides. This should take about 8 minutes per batch. Remove the shanks from the pot and set aside.

Step 5

In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, allowing it to lightly caramelize.

Step 7

Pour in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Add the beef broth, bay leaf, rosemary, and thyme to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 9

Return the lamb shanks to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.

Step 10

Bring the pot to a simmer, cover it with a lid, and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 11

Braised the lamb shanks in the oven for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.

Step 12

Once cooked, remove the pot from the oven. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 13

Discard the bay leaf and herb sprigs before serving.

Step 14

Serve the lamb shanks with some of the rich braising liquid and vegetables spooned over the top. Enjoy your keto-friendly braised lamb shank!
