FAQ
1. Can I use other cuts of lamb?
Yes, but shanks are ideal for this recipe because their connective tissue breaks down during slow cooking, resulting in tender meat.
2. Can I cook this in a slow cooker?
Absolutely! Sear the lamb and sauté the vegetables as directed, then transfer everything to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4–5 hours.
3. What wine pairs well with baked lamb shanks?
A bold red like Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah complements the rich flavors of the dish perfectly.
Enjoy your culinary adventure with these sumptuous baked lamb shanks!
