Healthy New Year!

A new year resolution for many is to become healthier. We can help with that! Lamb is a lean and healthy meat and has a lot of flavor! Here is Harry’s FAVORITE lamb recipe. It may take a little longer to cook but it is so worth it.

Rosemary Garlic Shanks

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 2 hrs 35 min

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 4 lamb shanks

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• Salt and fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

• 6 cloves garlic (unpeeled, but the skin pierced with the tip of a knife)

• 6 sprigs fresh rosemary

• 1 cup chicken broth

Instructions:

Step one: Preheat oven to 450 F

Step two: Place the shanks in a roasting pan, just large enough to fit them in one layer, and rub with olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper, or to taste.

Step three: Roast for 20 minutes to get a nice brown color. Remove the lamb, and turn the oven down to 325 F.

Step four: While waiting for the oven to cool down, spoon out any excess fat, and scatter the garlic cloves and rosemary over and around the lamb.

Step five: Wrap the braising or roasting pan very tightly with several layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil (remember: you want as tight a seal as possible) and return to the oven.

Step six: Roast the lamb for an addition two hours and resist the temptation to open the foil and check on it because you’ll increase the risk of the meat becoming too touch.

Step seven: Remove the foil, pour in the chicken broth, and turn the heat up to 400 F.

Step eight: Roast for 15 more minutes and remove.
