Jamie Oliver Lamb Shank Recipe
Full of bold flavors, this dish is a surefire way to bring a touch of gourmet to your kitchen.Preheat your oven to its highest setting and get ready to infuse your lamb with the rub of sea salt, black pepper, and a bit of olive oil.Once your lamb shanks have a nice brown color, add in onions and garlic for added depth.To prevent them from drying out, bake the shanks for 20 minutes while occasionally basting them with apple juice and dried chilies.One thing I really enjoy about this recipe is how tender and melt-in-the-mouth the lamb becomes.
