Braised Lamb Shanks

Serves 2

Shanks are also perfect for a slow-cooker. Cook on high for 6 hours or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.

Ingredients

  • 2 lamb shanks
  • 2 tbsp. cooking oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp. flour

  • 2 chicken bouillon cubes
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • ½ c. celery, chopped

In a large skillet, brown lamb in oil. Remove and set aside. Add onion and garlic. Saute until tender. Stir in flour; cook and stir for a minute. Add bouillon and water. Stir to dissolve. Return lamb to pan. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours or until meat is tender.
