Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lamb shanks
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 large carrots
  • 2 parsnips
  • 2 cups apple vinegar
  • 1 cup beef or chicken stock
  • Fresh rosemary

Instructions

  1. Season lamb shanks with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb shanks until browned on all sides (about 4-5 minutes per side). Remove from pot and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, sauté sliced onion until translucent (about 5 minutes), then add smashed garlic cloves and cook for another minute.
  3. Add carrot and parsnip chunks; cook for about 5 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. Pour in apple vinegar to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Stir in beef or chicken stock and return the lamb shanks to the pot with rosemary sprigs. Bring to a gentle boil.
  6. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and transfer it to the oven. Braise for about 2-3 hours until the meat is tender.
