Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350F/180C.

Step 2

Pat the lamb shanks dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a heavy based pot over high heat. Sear the lamb shanks in 2 batches until brown all over, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Remove lamb onto a plate and drain excess fat (if any) from the pot.

Step 5

Turn the heat down to medium low. Heat remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil in the same pot, if needed. Add the onion and garlic, cook for 2 minutes.

Step 6

Add carrot and celery. Cook for 5 minutes until onion is translucent and sweet.

Step 7

Add the red wine, chicken stock, crushed tomato, tomato paste, thyme and bay leaves. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Place the lamb shanks into the pot, squeezing them in to fit so they are mostly submerged. (Note 1)

Step 9

Turn stove up, bring to a simmer. Cover, then transfer to the oven for 2 hours (see notes for other cook methods).

Step 10

Remove from oven, remove lid, then return to the oven for another 30 minutes (so 2 1/2 hours in total). Check to ensure lamb meat is ultra tender (use 2 forks) - if not, cover and keep cooking. Ideal is tender meat but still just holding onto bone.

Step 11

Remove lamb onto plate and keep warm. Pick out and discard bay leaves and thyme.

Step 12

Strain the sauce into a bowl, pressing to extract all sauce out of the veggies (Note 5 for repurposing the veggies). Pour strained sauce back into pot. Bring to simmer over medium heat and reduce slightly to a syrupy consistency (see video) - I rarely need to. Taste then add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 13

Serve the lamb shanks on mashed potato or cauliflower puree with plenty of sauce! Garnish with thyme leaves if desired.
