Lamb shank might be my favorite cut of lamb. Rack of lamb is fabulous is its own right, but there’s just something about that tender meat falling off the bone that makes me love my shanks. It makes it the perfect cut for someone who is new to lamb eating as well. This recipe isn’t too complicated and you don’t have to worry too much about timing and you can still put out a fabulous, gourmet meal.
Can I braise lamb shanks in the slow cooker?
Can I braise lamb shanks in an Instant Pot or Electric Pressure Cooker?
Follow this recipe as directed, but instead of searing and baking the shanks in a large pot, you’ll do all of this in your pressure cooker. Sear the shanks as directed in step 2 using the sear setting on your electric pressure cooker. Saute the vegetable puree for 3-5 minutes then add in cranberry juice and the shanks. Cook on high pressure for 45 minutes, followed by a 15 minute natural release. Then, switch the release valve to the venting position. Remove lid once steam has stopped coming out.
What liquid should I use to braise lamb shanks?
Red wine is a classic option when it comes to braising. In this recipe we give you the option of using red wine or cranberry juice. Red grape juice is also an option. Each provides it’s own subtle effect on the recipe. We like the cranberry juice as the tartness of the cranberry pairs really well with the delicate flavors of the lamb. Whichever you choose, it’ll result in a stunning meal with a gourmet feel.
