- 3 Fresh rosemary sprigs

👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Season lamb shanks generously with salt and pepper.
- 2
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb shanks on all sides until deeply browned. Remove shanks from the pot and set aside.
- 3
Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Add minced garlic and tomato paste, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- 4
Deglaze the pot by pouring in the red wine. Scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Let the wine simmer and reduce by about half.
- 5
Pour in the beef broth. Add the rosemary and thyme sprigs. Return the lamb shanks to the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid. Bring to a simmer.
- 6
Cover the pot tightly with a lid or foil and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is very tender.
- 7
Add the diced rutabaga and potato chunks to the pot. Stir gently to incorporate them into the braising liquid. Cover and continue to cook in the oven for another 30-45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- 8
Remove the lamb shanks and vegetables from the pot. Skim any excess fat from the surface of the braising liquid. If desired, simmer the liquid on the stovetop for a few minutes to thicken it slightly into a sauce. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- 9
Serve the lamb shanks with the braised vegetables and a generous amount of the sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
