Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lamb shanks
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 cups apple vinegar
  • 1 cup beef or chicken stock
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

Instructions

  1. Season the lamb shanks generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  2. In a Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb shanks to the pot and sear them on all sides until they are nicely browned (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add sliced onion and smashed garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
  4. Incorporate the prepared carrots and parsnips into the pot and stir well to combine with onions and garlic. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until they start to soften.
  5. Pour in 2 cups of apple vinegar along with 1 cup of beef or chicken stock. Stir to combine all ingredients and bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Return the seared lamb shanks to the pot and add fresh rosemary on top. Cover with a lid and lower heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Let cook for about 2 hours or until lamb is fork-tender.
  7. Once done, carefully remove lamb shanks from pot and serve with root vegetables and spoon some braising liquid over top.
