Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Season the lamb shanks with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the olive oil till just sizzling. Add the shanks and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Turn heat to medium. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot, along with the crushed garlic and let sear for 30 seconds. Add onion and celery and sauté on medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Add thyme, rosemary, the bay leaf and stir.
Pour in the wine and return to medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the pan bottom.
Add bone broth and all vegetables excluding the carrots. Add lamb shanks, then finish with carrots on top. Bring to a bowl. Cover and place in oven for 1 ½ hours.
Remove from oven and let sit on stove for 15 minutes. Once ready to serve, carefully remove the lid and add equal amounts off root vegetables, lamb and broth to your bowl. Garnish with fresh minced parsley as desired.

Notes

If you can’t find bone broth and don’t have time to make any, use beef broth instead.

Add in green chard or spinach after you take the pot out of the oven to add extra greens to your meal.
