roast lamb shank
I love it when so simple a recipe yields such a glorious result. This method produces its own delicious jus.
serves two
2 lamb shanks
salt and pepper
6 garlic cloves, squashed but intact
4 sprigs rosemary or thyme
salt and black pepper
olive oil
Season each lamb shank and place them on individual rectangles of kitchen foil large enough to form a loose parcel. Nestle the garlic and herbs against the shanks and drizzle oil over. Seal the foil parcels and place in a roasting tray. Bake at 160C/140C fan for 2 hours. Take out of the oven, open up the foil parcel and return at 180C/160C fan for 40-45 minutes, turning the shanks once or twice.
