Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces lamb shanks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrot, diced
- 2 medium celery stalks, diced
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 14-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
- 3 cups chicken or beef stock
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 2 cups cooked white beans (or canned, drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Season the lamb shanks generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb shanks for 4–5 minutes per side, until they are browned evenly. Remove the shanks and set them aside.
In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze, releasing any browned bits. Let the wine simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly reduced.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, chicken or beef stock, rosemary, thyme, bay leaf, and a small pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Return the lamb shanks to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 2 hours, turning the shanks halfway through the cooking time, until the lamb is tender and falls off the bone.
Remove the pot from the oven and place it back on the stovetop over medium heat. Stir in the cooked white beans and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer uncovered for 10–15 minutes to allow the beans to absorb the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
Serve the lamb shanks hot with the bean and sun-dried tomato mixture spooned over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley. Enjoy!
