Does anyone have a really good recipe for lamb shanks?

I'm looking for tasty recipes, preferably with veg, for cooking lamb shanks.





I don't want to over power the lamb flavour and I want to use root veggies.





Does anyone have any tasty recipes that they can share with me?





Also how long will they take to cook? (they're big ones!)





Thanks!

Here you go :-D





6 lamb shanks


salt and pepper to taste


2 tablespoons olive oil


2 onions, chopped


3 large carrots, cut into 1/4 inch rounds


10 cloves garlic, minced


1 (750 milliliter) bottle red wine


1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes with juice


1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed chicken broth


1 (10.5 ounce) can beef broth


5 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary


2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme





Serves 6.





Sprinkle shanks with salt and pepper. Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook shanks until brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer shanks to plate.


Add onions, carrots and garlic to pot and saute until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in wine, tomatoes, chicken broth and beef broth. Season with rosemary and thyme. Return shanks to pot, pressing down to submerge. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover, and simmer until meat is tender, about 2 hours.


Remove cover from pot. Simmer about 20 minutes longer. Transfer shanks to platter, place in a warm oven. Boil juices in pot until thickened, about 15 minutes. Spoon over shanks.

I am a former chef and do them similar to Tacy, I flour, season and brown them and like you want use a load of root veg, a bit of tomato product, red wine or dark beer/stout, broth and a mild herb like thyme/oregano and bay leaves.





I do a slow braise in the oven or in a crockpot, for 2-3 hours with the oven, 4-6 hours with the crockpot, you can add potato's for an all round meal, now you can serve them on mashed potato's if you do not add them, noodles, or german spatzeli if you know the recipe.
Do them with spicy red lentils and champ ( Irish mash potato with spring onions and a lot of butter). can't beat it :D.
