Ingredients

Scale

  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 cups apple vinegar
  • 1 cup beef or chicken stock
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs

Instructions

  1. Season the lamb shanks with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the shanks on all sides until browned (8-10 minutes). Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, sauté onion and garlic until softened (3-4 minutes). Add carrots and parsnips; cook for an additional 5 minutes until lightly caramelized.
  3. Pour in apple vinegar and stock, scraping up any brown bits from the pot for added flavor.
  4. Return lamb shanks to the pot with rosemary. Bring to a simmer, cover, and braise on low heat for about 2 hours until fork-tender.
  5. Allow to rest briefly before serving.
