Lamb shanks that are slowly simmered with fresh rosemary, garlic, tomatoes, and red wine. Great served with polenta, or my family's favorite roasted garlic mashed potatoes, as you need something to soak up the wonderful sauce that is created with these. A fantastic dish for company, as all the prep work is done at the beginning, and then you just have to wait."
Ingredients
4-6 lamb shanks, trimmed of end knuckle
4 Tablespoons GF flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
1 tsp paprika
2 Tablespoons oil
2 onions, peeled and chopped to a medium size
2 tsp chopped fresh garlic
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup orange juice
Grated rind 1 orange
1 Tablespoonp chopped fresh rosemary
Directions
Mix the seasoned flour and paprika in a plastic bag, add the lamb shanks and toss to coat. Reserve any remaining flour.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and brown the lamb shanks, a few at a time. Set aside. Stir in the onions and garlic and cook 2 minutes. Add the remaining flour and cook a further minute.
Stir in the beef stock and orange juice and, once a sauce is formed, add the rosemary. Return the lamb shanks to the casserole or transfer to one. Cover and bake at 160C for at least 2-2½ hours or until the meat is tender.
Season with salt and pepper if wished before serving.
Served on a bed of creamy mashed potato is just right for me.
