Savory Mediterranean Lamb Shanks!



This one is super easy to make and it's tasty and great for the season. Modify with your favorite veggies and spices as you have them in stock.

Ingredients:

  • 2-4 lamb shanks
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine
  • 2 cups vegetable broth (organic, low sodium)
  • 4 heirloom tomatoes, diced
  • 2 sticks of rosemary (one diced, one whole)
  • 5 Chinese spice, 1 tbsp
  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, diced
  • 4 celery sticks, chopped
  • Pepper
  • EVOO
What to do:
  1. Saute the onion, garlic, and red pepper in EVOO. Set aside. 
  2. Heat some EVOO in a medium skillet pan. Brown the lamb shanks on both sides-about 3 minutes per side (season with half the paprika and a little pepper). Set aside.
  3. In your slow cooker, add the tomatoes, rosemary, vegetable broth, sauted veggies, celery, the remaining paprika, the 5 Chinese spice, and Marsala wine. Stir well.
  4. Add the lamb shanks, and cover in juice and veggies. Set the slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
Enjoy!
