Red Wine and Garlic Slow-Cooked Lamb Shanks

If you’ve tried a lot of slow-cooked lamb shank recipes over the years, or even if you haven’t, these shanks are hard to pass up. Meltingly tender lamb bathed in a rich red wine and garlic gravy should be all the encouragement you need to get stuck right in. How to make red wine and garlic slow-cooked lamb shanks: key tips Choose a heavy-based, flameproof (if needed) casserole dish for this boozy slow cook, so that your ingredients cook evenly on the stovetop and the base of your lamb mixture doesn’t burn. Season and coat your lamb shanks in a little plain flour, then shake off the excess. Brown the shanks in your chosen dish until they are lovely and golden and starting to caramelise. Remove the shanks from the pan and then cook the onion and garlic until softened. By now you should have a gorgeous ‘crust’ on the base of your dish. That’s okay, because when you add the wine it will sizzle and deglaze the dish – in other words, it will lift all that yumminess from the base so that it can be incorporated into the gravy. Add all the rest of the ingredients to the dish and let it cook low and slow until the lamb is almost falling off the bones. Key ingredients in this red wine and garlic slow-cooked lamb shanks recipe Lamb shanks lend themselves very well to slow cooking. Their connective tissue breaks down during the longer cooking time, resulting in super tender meat. The marbling of fat throughout adds flavour but you can always trim off some excess fat, if you want to, before coating the shanks in flour. Go for a full-bodied red wine for this recipe. Consider wines such as shiraz, cabernet sauvignon or merlot. Onion really is the only vegetable that has been added to this slow cook, and it provides a wonderful savoury flavour, however feel free to add some chopped carrot and celery to bulk up the veg. Italian cooking sauce (or passata) adds a gorgeous sweetness and richness to the gravy. If you like, you can use a sauce with added herbs for extra flavour. If you like the sound of this recipe, you might also like this all day lamb. These lamb shanks with tomatoes also look mighty tasty.
