1 - 3 to 6 Lamb Shanks ( Up to 6 lamb shanks can be made with the same Sauce mixture)
2- ¾ cup of Hannah Torshi Salsa ( If you like it a little Zesty, you can use 1 full cup! )
3- 1 small to medium size onion ( Diced to ¼ to ½” )
4- 5 to 6 cloves of garlic pealed and diced to ¼ to ½”
5- one 8 Oz can of tomato sauce
6- one 14.5 to16 Oz can of diced tomato
7- ½ cup of Merlot red wine ( other red wines can be used also )
8- ½ cup of water
9- Salt to taste ( 1 TBS should be sufficient but check for taste while cooking )
Direction :
Wash the Shanks and pat dry. Heat very little olive or None Gmo Canola oil and sauté the shanks from all sides to a nice caramel brown color. Sprinkle a little salt while sautéing. Remove the shanks from the frying pan and place into the baking pan. Save the cooking oil in the sauté pan. In the same pan add the diced garlic and onions and bring to an almost golden color. Add the Hannah Torshi Salsa and stir for a about 30 seconds or until it sizzles. Add the tomato sauce,diced tomatoes, and water to the mixture and let it simmer for about 5 min. Add salt and red wine to the mixture stir and taste. Pour the entire mixture over the Shanks, and cover and seal tight with heavy duty aluminum foil place in the preheated oven at 350F and bake for 3 to 3 ½ hrs. When the meat is almost falling off the bone the shanks are done. You should check the shanks after about 2 ½ hrs to check for the doneness. Lamb shanks could be served with Rice, Fried Potatoes or Steamed vegetables.
