DAILY RECIPE

Rosemary Braised Lamb Shanks

SUBMITTED BY: S. HODGE
PROVIDED BY: CIVB

Lamb shanks that are slowly simmered with fresh rosemary, garlic, tomatoes, and red wine. Great served with polenta, or my family's favorite roasted garlic mashed potatoes, as you need something to soak up the wonderful sauce that is created with these. A fantastic dish for company, as all the prep work is done at the beginning, and then you just have to wait.
