Instructions
  1. 1
    Sear the Lamb Shanks
    • Begin by browning the lamb shanks in oil to seal in their juices and enhance the flavor profile.
  2. 2
    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.
  3. 3
    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.
  4. 4
    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.
  5. 5
    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.
