Baked Lamb Shanks Recipe
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). This low, steady heat will allow the lamb shanks to cook slowly and become tender while absorbing all the flavors of the broth and vegetables.
Step 2:
Pat the lamb shanks dry with a paper towel to ensure a good sear. Then, season the lamb shanks generously with salt and pepper, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
Step 3:
In a large oven-safe pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the lamb shanks. Sear the lamb shanks on all sides until browned, which will take about 5 minutes per side. This searing locks in the juices and builds flavor. Once browned, remove the lamb shanks from the pot and set them aside.
