Directions
Preparation:20min › Cook:2hours30min › Ready in:2hours50min
- Pre-heat oven to 150 degrees C .
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy, metal baking dish on a hotplate over medium-high heat. Toss shanks with flour to coat well; then shake off excess. Sear the shanks in hot oil until well browned on all sides, then remove from the dish and set aside.
- Add the leek, celery, carrot, onion and garlic to the baking dish. Cook until softened and lightly browned, stirring constantly; about 5 minutes.
- Season with the bay leaf, peppercorns, thyme and rosemary sprigs. Pour in the red wine and chicken stock, increase heat to high and bring to a simmer.
- Season to taste with sea salt and place the lamb shanks on top of the vegetables.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and place into the preheated oven. Bake gently until the meat is tender and falls off of the bone, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
- Remove the bay leaf and herb stems before serving shanks with vegetables and sauce.
