Ingredients:

  • 1 bunch leek
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 large garlic cloves
  • 1 cup white wine

Directions:

  1. Wash leeks very well and slice crosswise, set aside. Leeks are full of grit and dirt so I wash them once they are sliced.
  2. Slice garlic cloved thinly.
  3. Trim lamb shanks of all fat and be sure to remove the silverskin .
  4. Heat oil med-high in large dutch oven ( larger cuts can be done in a roaster pan and finished in the oven).
  5. When oil is hot but not smoking, brown meat very well on all sides, set aside.
  6. Turn pan down to med-low and add garlic and leeks, saute 10 minutes.
  7. Return shanks to pan, season with s+p and srinkle rosemary over all.
  8. Add wine and bring to a simmer.
  9. Reduce heat to low and cover for 2 1/2 hours, turning once to season second side.
