- 2 large shallots, finely chopped
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
- 2 sprigs sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.
Season the lamb shanks with salt and pepper and brown them in the pot for about 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add the minced garlic and chopped shallots. Sauté until fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the red wine, using a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the beef broth, diced tomatoes, rosemary sprigs, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
Return the lamb shanks to the pot, submerging them in the liquid.
Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, until the lamb is tender and easily falls off the bone.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh rosemary if desired.
