Date Night Lamb Shanks

Name: Date Night Lamb Shanks
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2-4 lamb shanks (Make sure your Dutch oven or heavy pot will hold that many); 1 salt and pepper; 1 Extra Virgin Olive Oil; 1 large onion (red, yellow, white... whichever you prefer); 10-12 garlic cloves whole (don't chop smaller than 1/2 if prefered. They cook up sweet); 1 Fresh rosemary chopped (about a palm full or two tbls); 1 can articokes (12 in a can)... I'll slice in half as well; 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata Olives halved; 1 cup basic tomato sauce **see my other recipe**; 1 cup Favored dry white wine (I like pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc); 1 cup chicken stock

Steps

1

Preheat oven to 375ºF
2

Rinse/Pat dry lamb shanks and season liberally with salt and pepper. Using your large heavy bottom pan (Dutch oven/Cast iron pot) drizzle olive oil to coat bottom well (5-6 tbsp) over stove top at med heat. Sear shanks on all sides then remove from pot (set aside).
3

To same pot add onion, garlic, artichokes, and rosemary and cook until onions become translucent/soft. Then add olives, wine, sauce, stock and bring to a boil.
4

Add the lamb back to the pot and submerge into the liquid atleast 3/4 in thickest part of shank submerged (add more stock/wine/sauce in equal parts if necessary). Cover tightly with lid and place into oven.
5

Cook for 1 hr 45 min to 2 hrs turning shanks once half way through cooking time. I find 2 hrs is best. The meat falls off the bone. :)
6

Remove from oven and serve! I plate some mashed potatoes or rice and sit the shank right on top and spoon all the goodness it cooked in on top!
