Braised Lamb Shanks in Red Wine
Ingredients
  • 2 large white onions, chopped
  • 4 lamb shanks
  • 2 cups dry red wine
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 2 lemons, quartered
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
  • 1 bunch fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, which is equivalent to 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Position the onions in a single layer at the bottom of a Dutch oven or a medium-sized roasting pan with a lid. Arrange the lamb shanks on top of the onions, creating a visually appealing presentation.
3
Pour the wine, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil over the lamb shanks in a way that ensures they are fully coated. Place a clove of pressed garlic next to each lamb shank, allowing its flavors to meld together. Place a quarter of a lemon on each side of the lamb shanks, adding a burst of citrus flavor.
4
Pour the tomatoes over everything in the pan, creating a rich and intense sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and basil to bring out the flavors of the dish.
5
Cover the Dutch oven or roasting pan with a lid and place it in the preheated oven. Allow it to cook for 3 hours, during which time the lamb will become tender and fall-apart.
6
Once cooked, use the juices from the pan to make a delicious and flavorful gravy.
