Lamb shank recipe needed please

[MrsNuckyThompson]

Hello - bought some lovely looking lamb shanks from the farm shop today. Do you have any scrumptious recipes to share?

[Tenpastlate]

I'm bookmarking for inspiration. I'd usually use red wine and redcurrant jelly, shallots and mushrooms.

[MrsNuckyThompson]

Ten - care to share that recipe? Sounds nice! Do you use the jelly as a glaze and slow roast?

[Tenpastlate]

I seal the outside of the lamb shanks, then soften the shallots and some red onions and chestnut mushrooms in butter. Everything into a casserole with a lid. Add a small jar of redcurrant jelly and half a bottle of red wine (chianti) and a couple of sprigs of rosemary and some black pepper. Lid on and into the oven - cook on a medium heat for min 3hrs or until ready to eat it.
Serve with extra redcurrant jelly, green beans and red cabbage.
Now I am hungry!

Red wine, carrots,onion,garlic,stock, tin of tomatoes and rosemary bung it all in a pot with the lamb and stick it in the oven on low for 3 to 4 hours. Serve with little roast potatos and green veg

Sear the lamb, fry onions & chorizo, then cook long & slow in red wine, seasoning, and could add some smoked paprika for extra warmth. Lovely! Serve with sweet potato mash & rocket salad.

I do any suitable veg I have in the fridge, tin of chopped toms, garlic purée, Rosemary and half a bottle of balsamic vinegar

This is absolutely delicious. I cook it lower and longer though - 160 for 3 hours(ish) until meat is falling off bone YUM

[MrsNuckyThompson]

Thanks everyone! In the end I did a bit of a mish mash of everyone's recipes - soffrito, garlic and mushrooms softened off, added the browned shanks, red currant jelly, red wine and tomato puree then in the oven for 3+ hours at 160. They were totally delicious and I'd definitely do them again, especially if having people round as they look lovely on the plate are 'pre-portioned' and you just shove 'em in and forget about everything but the sides!!
