I grew up in the Los Angeles area, near Hollywood where the Musso & Frank Grill is an institution. This simple and classic recipe for lamb shanks is theirs, proudly served for the last 88 years.
INGREDIENTS
4 lamb shanks
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
Salt & pepper
8 medium carrots, cut in 1-inch pieces
8 small Crimini mushrooms (caps only)
8 small slice celery
1 (8-oz.) can of tomato sauce
1 cup peas (frozen are fine)
PREPARATION
- Sprinkle the lamb shanks with garlic and season to taste with salt and pepper
- Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes, turning frequently to brown on all sides
- Add carrots, onions, mushrooms, celery, and tomato sauce
- Bake at 375°F for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until meat is tender
- Add peas after 30 minutes baking time
