Baked Lamb Shanks



Ingredients 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 large onion slice, chopped 1 tablespoon garlic, minced 6 12-16 ounce lamb shanks 1 cup red wine 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon black pepper, ground 1 teaspoon sugar 6 cloves, whole 2 bay leaves 1 or 2 cinnamon sticks 2 fresh tomatoes, peeled and crushed 1 cup tomato puree 1 tablespoon tomato paste



Instructions Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the lamb shanks and sear until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the red wine, salt and pepper, sugar, cloves, bay leaves and cinnamon sticks. Stir all the ingredients together. Add the fresh tomatoes, tomato puree, tomato paste and 2 cups water. Stir well. Cover and let simmer on medium-low heat until the lamb is tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours


Description This was my first time making lamb shanks, but it will not be the last. Tender, juicy and the sauce is unbelievable. Save any leftover to use elsewhere.


Notes I served this baked rice(recipe in this collection). The outstanding sauce over the rice is something special. I only had two lamb shanks but used the full amounts for the sauce and have all sorts of ideas for the leftover sauce.

I have tried to give credit to the source of the recipe where possible.  I never dreamt when I started trying recipes and saving the ones that I liked that there would be something called the Internet where I could share them.  My gratitude to the sources where I was able to provide them and my apologies where I had no way to credit them.
