Gluten-Free New Zealand Rosemary Lamb Shanks

Ingredients:

4 lamb shanks
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 cup gluten-free beef or vegetable broth
1 cup red wine (make sure it's gluten-free)
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).

Brown the Lamb Shanks:

In an oven-safe Dutch oven or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Brown the lamb shanks on all sides until they develop a nice crust. Remove the lamb shanks and set them aside.

Sauté Onions and Garlic:

In the same pot, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent.

Add Liquid and Seasonings:

Return the browned lamb shanks to the pot.
Add the fresh rosemary sprigs, gluten-free beef or vegetable broth, and red wine.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Braise the Lamb Shanks:

Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Let the lamb shanks braise in the oven for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily falls off the bone.

Serve:

Once the lamb shanks are done, carefully remove them from the oven.
