Ingredients

• 4 pieces lamb shanks
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 piece large onion, chopped
• 2 pieces carrots, chopped
• 2 pieces celery stalks, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 1 cup red wine
• 2 cups beef or lamb stock
• 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 leaves bay leaves
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Season the lamb shanks with salt and pepper. Brown them on all sides in the pot, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the lamb shanks and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze, letting it simmer and reduce slightly.

Step 8

Add the canned diced tomatoes, beef or lamb stock, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Return the lamb shanks to the pot, making sure they are submerged in the liquid. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 10

Cover the pot with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven.

Step 11

Braise the lamb shanks for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is very tender and falling off the bone.

Step 12

Remove the pot from the oven. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 13

Serve the lamb shanks hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
