Sink your teeth into this incredibly delicious, braised lamb shanks recipe that is slow-cooked in an amazingly flavored broth. I served these tasty shanks up with some of my creamy risotto and it is outstanding.
Lamb shanks are cut from the leg of the lamb and tend to be a tougher cut of meat. It is best slow-cooked for longer periods of time to help break down the meat. It will become melt in your mouth good as this is one of my all-time favorite dishes.
You can purchase lamb shanks from any butcher shop and most grocery stores will carry them as well. They cost roughly 10-12 per pound while 1 lamb shank weighs about 12 ounces, with about 3-4 of those ounces being the bone. One shank will easily and fully feed 1 person.
