bouche Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 We were on the hunt for Osso Bucco (veal or bison shanks) today, but we could only find frozen so we got the butcher to chop off 2 thick pieces off of a lamb shank.We're braising them right now and I think there's only another 20 minutes left for the tastiest meat dish ever to hit my mouth.Served with purple potato fries and beets with beet greens.Any one else love a good shanking?

Ol'Hickster Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I melt for Lamb its probally my favourite meat ever! I wish I had Lamb Shanks for dinner today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybone Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hey Mikey- What did you braise them in? One of my clients is a pub and they do a guiness braised lamb shank with roasted root veg mash. It's pretty yummy- and it is a big money maker for them. Lamb shanks (frozen) are pretty cheap!

Ms.Huxtable Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 We used fresh lamb shank slices and they were about $16 for both.I think we started by browning the shanks on both sides and removing them from the pot. We then added to the pot the classic onion, celery, carrot, garlic combo, deglazed with some wine, added the meat back in and added chicken stock and canned tomoatoes.It was seasoned with a bouquet of thyme and bay leaves and cooked for a couple of hours.It was absolutely beautiful.

bONES Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I am ashamed to say this but I have never eaten lamb.I have never eaten lamb either and I am certainly NOT ashamed. I doubt I will EVER eat it. I've gone 38 years without so no need for me to start now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamb shanks (frozen) are pretty cheap!I never even thought of using beer. I could see almost any liquid being the braising host and guiness sounds like a good choice.

Ms.Huxtable Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Myrna, lamb is my favorite meat as well. When you come to visit us next time, remind me to make you lamb kaftas with a mint sauce. You'll like it. They're like meatball only MUCH more tasty.
