Sink your teeth into this incredibly delicious, braised lamb shanks recipe that is slowcooked in an amazingly flavored broth. I served these tasty shanks up with some of my creamy risotto and it is outstanding.

Lamb shanks are cut from the leg of the lamb and tend to be a tougher cut of meat. It is best slowcooked for longer periods of time to help break down the meat. It will become melt in your mouth good as this is one of my alltime favorite dishes.

You can purchase lamb shanks from any butcher shop and most grocery stores will carry them as well. They cost roughly 1012 per pound while 1 lamb shank weighs about 12 ounces, with about 34 of those ounces being the bone. One shank will easily and fully feed 1 person.
