Lamb shanks today

Postby Norway Joe » Sat Nov 10, 2018 2:33 pm

First time for me. I like lamb and I got served lamb shanks a while ago which was delicious. Figured I wanted to make it and got time for it today.

Started with the shanks rubbed with salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary. I smoked them for an hour with apple wood and oak from old aquavit barrels at 210. Then in the pan with 50/50 broth and redwine. A good chunk of butter and some rosemary. Let them stay for 4 hours at 300. In the 4 hour period one hour nap on the couch is mandatory.

Served with butter fried chanterelles, pan fried asparagus and mashed potatoes. Made the gravy from the liquid in the pan, chopped shallots and garlic.

Had a Lagunitas Day time ale from Michigan to drink.

I think they tasted great. ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

I do lamb shanks all the time in winter. You present it beautiful, couldn't do better. I slow cook for about 8 hrs in a slow cooker.
Yours gets 10/10 from me. From the land of sheep. I have about 10 shanks still in the freezer.

Thank you. Actually these are from New Zealand. I like to buy lamb from New Zealand or Iceland.

We have world class lamb in Norway too, but like many other norwegians I am boycotting them because of the way the farmers operate. They let the sheeps out with no supervision from the spring until late autumn. This results in thousands of sheeps getting killed by wolves, bears and other predators a year. We see a lot of barbaric pictures of wounded lambs during the season. But instead of supervising their sheeps they are killing all the predator animals, close to extinction.

Yes. By the way, I have nothing against hunting, which is a different thing. It's a good thing to harvest what mother earth provides but it must be sustainable. I am probably getting off the tracks now.

Totally different and I agree with you 100%. :tup: Now as far as getting off track goes, around here it's perfectly OK to "Hi-Jack" your own thread :salut:

Joe we don't have predators like some on here do, worse we have is a stray dog getting in a paddock and killing a few. But very rare, ours just graze happily until time to go to the works. We just had delivered a few weeks back a whole lamb cut up and frozen . It will last about 3 months.Christmas day is whole leg of lamb with also a turkey roast and also pickled pork, along with the trimmings. Do you have mint sauce with your lamb?

Russ. Great. I can keep on buying lamb from NZ :-). Leg of lamb is my favourite lamb dish. We use mint gel? to the lamb. Delicious. We normally have leg of lamb at Easter eve. I bet a hole lamb is great. Lots of good food. Lamb roast, chops, shanks, filets.

At Christmas eve we normally eat pork belly, pork butt and meatballs from pork meat and pork sausages. This year we are for the first of my 53 years gonna change. Having lamb ribs which is a tradition from the western Norway.

We also have another traditional food which I don't eat. Sheeps head.

I eat some weird stuff, my wife will testify to that, but a lambs head,no, nada. We also have mint jelly which is beautiful with a lamb sammich. Last time I looked at stock prices store lambs were selling for around $150 a head. Killing and cleaning extra.
A leg of lamb rotisserie is amazing if you get to try it.

I have a rotisserie so I will definitely try that. Thanks for the tip.

150 for a lamb is reasonable. We would pay about 300 usd for a 20 kg lamb. Killed and cleaned.
