Copy Ingredients

2 large lamb shanks
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon avocado oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 medium carrots, chopped
4 celery stalks, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons Tuttorosso® Tomato Paste Sweet Basil
2 tablespoons molasses, pomegranate variety
2 cups beef broth
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
28 ounces Tuttorosso® San Marzano Style Hand Crushed Tomatoes in Puree with Basil & Sea Salt, using approximately 1/2 of the can

Instructions

Pat the lamb shanks dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Preheat the oven to 345°F.
Heat the avocado oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Brown the lamb shanks for 1-2 minutes on each side, then set them aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, celery and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and sauté for 4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in Tuttorosso Tomato Paste with Sweet Basil and cook for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors. Add the pomegranate molasses and stir until well combined with the vegetables and tomato paste.
Pour in the beef broth, thyme sprigs and bay leaf, stir everything together. Stir in half of the can of Tuttorosso San Marzano Style Hand Crushed Tomatoes, ensuring the mixture is well combined.
Return the lamb shanks to the pot. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise the lamb for 2.5 hours covered, then uncover and cook for an additional 30 minutes to brown the shanks.
Serve the braised lamb shanks over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes, spooning the rich braising liquid over the top.
