Slow roasted lamb legs with garlic and rosemary
Lamb shanks are cut from the leg of the animal with a central bone surrounded by firm meat. They are less expensive than other cuts of lamb.
While some cuts of lamb are delicious when cooked briefly at high temperatures (like grilling) lamb shanks are a different story. Braising is a better option because the meat is a bit tougher and slow cooking makes it tender. This recipe for slow roasted lamb shanks is such a great and easy way to enjoy lamb. It only requires a few ingredients and while it does take a little time it’s almost all hands-off.
You’ll need to plan ahead a few hours to prepare this recipe so the lamb can slowly roast but it’s worth it. Serve with mashed potatoes or hearty bread to soak up the juices and a simple green vegetable like green beans.
