The name says it all – these juicy lamb shanks are so rich and tender, making them the perfect protein to pair with a hearty meal. Though it may seem like a “fancy” meal – these lamb shanks have a short active prep time and can be prepared in large batches for many meals throughout the week. Wondering what to serve them with? Try serving your melt-in-your-mouth lamb shanks with our Mashed Fauxtatoes, Parsnip Rice, Cauliflower Couscous, or Savory Brussels Sprouts.
This recipe is one of our favorite quick-and-easy recipes. Although it may not be quick in terms of the cooking time, the active prep time is less than 5 minutes! Simply add all of the ingredients to a deep skillet or saucepan and let the flavors work their magic. Longer cooking times allow flavors to develop, enhancing the overall taste of the dish. If you have a few moments to put the ingredients in a pot, you can go do other things while dinner is cooking.
Due to the short ingredient list, this dish can also be prepared in larger batches and used throughout the week. You can “shred” the meat off of the bone and serve in soups, salads, stews, or Grain-Free Waffle “sandwiches” throughout the week.
