Recipe View Serve the lamb shanks with the reduced sauce spooned over them. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs for an elegant touch.

For an even richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato paste to the skillet along with the onions and garlic.
If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary. Add it along with the white wine.
Serve these braised lamb shanks with creamy mashed potatoes, polenta, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
The braising time may vary depending on the size and thickness of the lamb shanks. Use a fork to test for doneness – the meat should be very tender and easily pull away from the bone.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the oven.
