Lamb shank recipe for tender lamb slowly simmered with fresh rosemary, garlic, tomatoes, and red wine. Excellent served with polenta or roasted garlic mashed potatoes, my family's favorite, to soak up the wonderful sauce. This is a fantastic dish to make for company, as all the prep work is done at the beginning. All you have to do is wait.

Ingredients

  • lamb shanks: 6 piece
  • salt and pepper: 0 piece (to taste)
  • olive oil: 2 Tbsp
  • carrots, cut into 1/4 inch rounds: 3 piece
  • onions: 2 piece (chopped)
  • garlic: 10 clove (minced)
