Greek Fall-off the Bone Lamb Shanks (Braised in a delicious sauce)

Get the recipe here: www.dimitrasdi...
Ingredients
4 lamb shanks
1/4 cup olive oil
2 carrots
2 celery stalks
3-4 potatoes
1 onion
6 garlic cloves, grated
15-oz crushed tomatoes
3-4 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
4-5 cups water or broth
1 and 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1 heaping teaspoon dried oregano
2 rosemary sprigs
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 Bay leaves
2-4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F, 180 °C.
Season the lamb on both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Place a cast-iron (enamel coated) pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and brown the lamb shanks on all sides. Do this in 1-2 batches. Set the lamb aside.
While the lamb is browning, prepare the vegetables. Peel and roughly chop the onion and potatoes. Chop the carrots and celery.
Add the vegetables to the pot with a pinch of salt and cook until golden. About 7-8 minutes over medium heat.
Add the garlic and warm through until fragrant.
Add the balsamic, tomato sauce, the herbs and spices. Place the lamb on top and cover with water or broth. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the lid on the pot and transfer to the preheated oven.
Allow the lamb to cook for about 3 hours or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
Carefully remove the lamb from the pot and set aside in a platter. Remove the vegetables as well. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Place the pot over medium-high heat and allow the sauce to reduce and thicken to your desired cinsistency. I like to mash a potato into the sauce at the beginning to help thicken it.
Add the lemon juice and either place the lamb back into the pot to warm through or serve the sauce on top.
Kali Orexi!

Just made it!!!!!! Amazing recipe I substituted the balsamic with red wine came out amazing with garlic smashed potatoes ❤

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

This would go well with persian lavash, nan flat bread or even French sticks. Thanks for a wonderful recipe Dimitra😄

[@cheeseman417]

Looks delicious as always!, but I'm adding banana leaf on the bottom of the roasting pan before adding water, then draping banana leaf on top of the shanks before covering with Aluminum foil. It's similar to cooking Pernil, and it adds that extra bit of flavor to it. Also to get that skin extra crispy on the outside, after roasting im giving it a bit of flame from a bakers torch ! ooppaa!!!

[@doitee52]

All your cheap cuts of any meat poutry, beef, lamb, and pork are more expensive. I remember my mom get a lot of cheap meat to feed us. Now it's prime!

[@dannietjuh47]

Basically every cut of meat is expensive nowadays.

[@Psalms144]

Lamb shanks are cheaper than ground beef nowadays.

[@GurpindersinghMander-sp1fr]
