Braised Lamb Shanks

Another lamb favourite

Ingredients:

• 2 Lamb shanks (trimmed, ask your butcher)
• a little Flour
• Salt & Pepper
• 250ml chopped Tomatoes (I used tinned)
• a sprig of Rosemary
• a sprig of Thyme
• 125ml Red wine
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 4 Cloves garlic
• Zest and juice of a lemon
• 1/2 a chili, finely chopped
• PS - I also added about 1/2 tsp dried rosemary and dried coriander and it does add more flavour.

Method:

1. Dust the shanks with flour and brown in a hot skillet.
2. Place in oven dish (with lid) with all other ingredients.
3. Braise for 1 1/2 - 2 hours until meat is very soft.
4. Take out the oven and serve on polenta, rice or pasta. 

I served mine with Tagliatelle (recipe also on blog)
