Braised Lamb Shanks

Braising is a wise choice of preparation for lamb shanks, as this cut is typically tough. The “low and slow” cooking process results in tender, juicy meat that just falls off the bone.

    These are delicious! I used dried herbs because I didn’t have any fresh ones. I cooked them in the oven set at 325 since my crock pot is small and I added carrots and a turnip in the last 45 minutes of cooking (I cooked it for a total of 2 hrs. 15 minutes.) The meat just fell off the bones. What a great meal for a cold snowy day!
