I got this recipe from my mom. The lamb shanks are so tender and make a deliciously flavored gravy. —Sue Draheim
Ingredients:
1/2 medium lemon
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
4 lamb shanks (about 12 ounces each)
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour, divided
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups beef consomme
1 cup water
1/2 cup dry vermouth
1 medium onion, chopped
4 medium carrots, cut into chunks
4 celery ribs, cut into chunks
Directions:
1. Rub lemon and garlic over the lamb shanks; let stand for 10 minutes. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 3/4 cup flour, salt and pepper. Add shanks, one at a time, and shake to coat.
2. In a large skillet, brown lamb in oil over medium-high heat. Transfer to a shallow roasting pan. Stir the remaining flour into the skillet; cook and stir until browned. Stir in the consomme, water and vermouth until blended. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until thickened.
3. Stir in the onion. Pour over lamb. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1-1/2 hours. Turn shanks; add the carrots and celery. Cover and bake 1 hour longer or until meat and vegetables are tender. Yield: 4 servings.
