Instructions
-
Sear the Lamb Shanks

Prepare the Aromatic Base
- Sauté a medley of onion, carrots, celery, garlic, rosemary, and a hint of cinnamon in oil until fragrant.
- Introduce grated orange rind, wine, stock, sugar, tomato paste, and vinegar to the pan, creating a flavorful concoction.
-
Combine and Infuse
- Place the seared lamb shanks into a casserole dish.
- Pour the aromatic mixture over the lamb shanks, ensuring they are generously coated.
-
Slow Roast to Perfection
- Cover the casserole dish and let the lamb shanks cook at 160°C for a sumptuous 3 hours.
- Uncover and continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the meat to reach a tender, almost falling-off-the-bone consistency.
-
Final Touches and Reduction
- Carefully remove the lamb shanks from the casserole dish.
- Boil the remaining sauce to reduce it to half of its original volume, intensifying the flavors and creating a luscious, concentrated sauce.
