Why use lamb shanks?

Lamb shanks are the perfect cut for when you’re planning on a slow-cooked meal. The bone running through the centre provides a ton of flavour, as it releases collagen whilst cooking which tenderises the meat. And one of the best ways to cook lamb shanks is by braising it before allowing it to slow-cook.

What does it mean to braise?

The braising technique is the act of searing or frying food (usually meat or vegetables) lightly. Thereafter, it is slow-cooked in a closed pan with a small amount of liquid.

Before starting the braising method, you will have to dredge the meat in flour. Pat the shanks dry and cover in flour. This will help to seal all the moisture inside the meat, thus keeping the lamb from getting dry or tough while cooking. 

Thereafter you will be frying the lamb before placing them in an oven tray with the chopped vegetables, red wine, bay leaves, oregano, and stock. From there it can be left for about 3 hours as the shanks get infused with the aromatic flavours. All that is left after this is to enjoy!
