Red wine lamb shanks are a hearty and comforting dish perfect for a cosy evening at home. This recipe involves low and slow cooking and results in tender, falling-off-the-bone lamb with a rich sauce that is amazing drizzled over a bed of silky smooth mashed potatoes. It’s the perfect dish for entertaining during the cooler months, with a ‘wow’ factor that will impress your guests while still being easy to prepare.
Note 1 – Use tomato passata or 800g crushed tomatoes as a substitute if you prefer not to use red wine. Add it at the same time as the chicken stock.
Note 2 – If your pan is sticky after searing the lamb shanks, wipe it down with a paper towel and deglaze with 1/4 cup of water if needed.
MAKE AHEAD – This dish is best cooked completely and refrigerated or frozen to be reheated when ready to eat. See below.
LEFTOVERS – Refrigerate up to 3 days. Freeze up to 2 months. Thaw completely in the fridge overnight. Reheat in the microwave until piping hot. Hot tip: freeze in small portions or individual portions to aid in reheating evenly.

Such a delicious recipe I’ve been making it on repeat 🤩
I sub the red wine for passata as feeding a 1 and 3 year old and it still has amazing flavour. My 1 year old regularly sticks his face directly
into his bowl when I serve this meal 🙈
