More lamb - Lamb shanks

[Norway Joe]

Since it's lamb season, we wanted lamb shanks today. They are very tasty and falling of bone tender. Very easy to cook. Just put in oven on 150 celsius for 2.5 hours.

Gravy is juice and garlic from pan, thickened with corn starch. Served with oven baked root veggies and mashed potatoes.

A nice dinner.

I forgot to take pictures from the preparation.

Any kind of shank is very underrated by most. Those look like perfection.

Ok. Here's the recipe for 4 persons:

4 shanks of lamb
4 dl of redwine or more stock and some redwine vinegar.
4 dl of stock. Use what you have, preferably lamb, chicken or vegetable.
1 yellow onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
4 stilks of rosemary

Set oven on 180 celsius

Pat the shanks with salt and pepper.
Brown them in a pan until nice and brown all around.

Add the shanks to a deep pan for the oven.
Mix redwine and stock and add to the pan with the shanks (up to the bones). Add the vegetables (onion, garlic and rosemary) between the shanks.

Cover the pan with aluminum foil and put in the oven for about 2.5 hours. Check that pan isn't drying out and add liquid if necessary. The shanks are ready when they are letting the bone.

Pour the juice over a sift into a pot. Bring to boil and add a tsp of butter and thicken with corn starch to your liking. I also often add a little sugar color to get a better look.

We use the following veggies for the side. We cut them in pieces and put them in a pan, uncovered, and in the oven for the last 40 minutes.

Parsley root
Turnips
Beet
Carrots
Shallots

Drizzle over oil and some honey before going into the oven. Stir occasionally so they don't dry out.

Regarding mashed, I think you have your own recipe.

Looks delicious, and something we might want to try. Thanks for the recipe, too.

Thanks.

We eat a lot of lamb from now until Christmas. One of my favorites is "pinnekjøtt" which is lambchops, including the rib. Smoked and dried.

A popular dish is "smalahove" or sheep's head. Served with mashed rutabaga and potatoes. I'm not a fan, but people arrange nice dinner parties with this dish and aquavit.

You can read about it here:

I look forward to seeing one you post your smalahove dinner.

The Norwegian Spirt Award will be mine. These are available at the market I shop. Wasn’t sure how to prepare so never got one. That’s about to change. Did a pig head couple years back. Grandkids loved it. One more offal to check off the list. Appreciate the video.

That'll be cool. I look forward to seeing your post about this. I'll send you a bottle of aquavit when you post it.
