Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a heavy, metal roasting pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Toss shanks with flour to coat well; then shake off excess. Sear shanks in hot oil until well browned on all sides, then remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 3
Add celery, carrots, onion, leek, and garlic to the roasting pan. Cook until softened and lightly browned, stirring constantly; about 5 minutes. Season with bay leaf, peppercorns, thyme, and rosemary. Pour in chicken stock and red wine, increase heat to high, and bring to a simmer. Season to taste with salt. Place the lamb shanks on top of the vegetables.
Step 4
Cover the roasting pan tightly with heavy aluminum foil and place into the preheated oven. Bake gently until meat is tender and falls off of the bone, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
Step 5
Remove bay leaf and herb stems before serving shanks with vegetables and sauce.
