Ingredients
2 lamb shanks
8-10 shallots
4-5 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup water (200 ml)
1 package Alta Naturel Dried Plums 🛒
3-4 sprigs of rosemary
2 tablespoons Alta Naturel Extra Virgin Olive Oil 🛒
Preparation
Rub the lamb shanks with salt, pepper, and olive oil and sear them in a hot cast iron pan. Remove the shanks from the pan, sauté the shallots and garlic, then add the tomato paste and water, and return the shanks to the pan. Add the rosemary, cover tightly with foil, and bake in a 180-degree oven for 1.5 hours.
If you don't have a cast iron pan or it's not suitable for the oven, you can perform these steps in a regular pan, then transfer to a suitable oven dish and bake. After 1 hour, open the foil and check the liquid inside. If it has reduced too much, add some water. When cooked, the meat will easily separate from the bone. This way you can easily tell when your meat is cooked.
