  3. Take 1 Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  4. Take 1 large onion (red, yellow, white… whichever you prefer)
  5. Prepare 10-12 garlic cloves whole (don't chop smaller than 1/2 if prefered. They cook up sweet)

When the liquid is cool, skim the fat and reserve the juice. Use meat and juice in the following recipes: Tomato Sauce With Lamb and Pasta; Indian Lamb Curry With Basmati Rice; Chinese Braised Lamb Shanks. Once seared, set aside on a plate. Sprinkle both sides of the lamb shanks with the spices.

Steps to make Date Night Lamb Shanks:
  1. Preheat oven to 375ºF
  2. Rinse/Pat dry lamb shanks and season liberally with salt and pepper. Using your large heavy bottom pan (Dutch oven/Cast iron pot) drizzle olive oil to coat bottom well (5-6 tbsp) over stove top at med heat. Sear shanks on all sides then remove from pot (set aside).
  3. To same pot add onion, garlic, artichokes, and rosemary and cook until onions become translucent/soft. Then add olives, wine, sauce, stock and bring to a boil.
  4. Add the lamb back to the pot and submerge into the liquid atleast 3/4 in thickest part of shank submerged (add more stock/wine/sauce in equal parts if necessary). Cover tightly with lid and place into oven.
  5. Cook for 1 hr 45 min to 2 hrs turning shanks once half way through cooking time. I find 2 hrs is best. The meat falls off the bone. :)
  6. Remove from oven and serve! I plate some mashed potatoes or rice and sit the shank right on top and spoon all the goodness it cooked in on top!

Once seared, set aside on a plate. Sprinkle both sides of the lamb shanks with the spices. Remove the lamb from the oven. Mix the olive oil with the lemon juice and oregano. Pour over the lamb with a cup of water.
