🍖 Slow-Braised Lamb Shank with Creamy Mashed Potatoes 🥔
Warm up your weekend with this hearty, melt-in-your-mouth lamb shank recipe, paired with velvety mashed potatoes! Perfect for a cozy dinner or impressing your guests. 😋
Ingredients (Serves 2):
- 2 lamb shanks
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup red wine 🍷
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp rosemary
- 1 tsp thyme
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Brown lamb shanks on all sides, then set aside.
2️⃣ In the same pot, sauté onion and garlic until soft. Pour in red wine to deglaze, scraping up those delicious bits. Add beef broth, rosemary, thyme, and return lamb shanks to the pot.
3️⃣ Cover and braise in the oven for 2-2.5 hours, until the lamb is fall-off-the-bone tender.
4️⃣ Meanwhile, boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain, then mash with butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until creamy and smooth.
5️⃣ Serve the lamb shanks over a generous scoop of mashed potatoes, spoon over the rich braising sauce, and savor every bite!
🍽️ Pro Tip: Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and pair with a glass of your favorite red wine!
