🍖✨ "Shank You Very Much" Lamb Shank Recipe with Red Wine, Rosemary, Mint, Honey & Chili Flakes ✨🍷 Hey foodies! Ready to impress your taste buds (and maybe your crush)? Let’s dive into this fall-off-the-bone lamb shank recipe that’s so good, it’ll make you want to write a love letter to your Instant Pot. 💕 Now with a sweet and spicy twist thanks to honey and chili flakes! 🍯🔥 🍴 Ingredients: 2 lamb shanks (aka meat lollipops 🍭) 1 bottle of red wine (one for the pot, one for you 🍷😉) 4 garlic cloves (vampires, be gone! 🧛‍♂️) 2 sprigs of rosemary (nature’s toothpicks 🌿) A handful of fresh mint leaves (for that fancy vibe 🌱) 1 onion, chopped (tears are optional 😭) 2 carrots, chopped (bunny-approved 🥕🐇) 2 celery stalks, chopped (crunchy bois 🥬) 2 cups beef stock (liquid gold 🥘) 2 tablespoons honey (sweetness overload 🍯) 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (or more if you’re spicy like that 🔥) Salt, pepper, and olive oil (the holy trinity 🙏) 👩‍🍳 Cooking Instructions: Step 1: Dry the Lamb Shanks “Pat those shanks dry with a paper towel like you’re giving them a spa day. Moisture is the enemy of a good sear, and we’re not here to steam our meat, folks. We’re here to sizzle.” 💦🔥 Sear the lamb shanks in a large pot or Dutch oven with olive oil until golden brown. Set aside. Sauté the veggies (onion, carrots, celery, garlic) in the same pot for 5 mins. Add the lamb shanks back in, pour in the red wine, and let it simmer until reduced by half. Add beef stock, rosemary, mint, honey, and chili flakes. Cover and simmer on low heat for 2.5-3 hours, turning the shanks occasionally. Serve with mashed potatoes or crusty bread. Oven Method: Sear the lamb shanks in an oven-safe pot or Dutch oven. Set aside. Sauté the veggies in the same pot for 5 mins. Add the lamb shanks back in, pour in the red wine, and let it simmer until reduced by half. Add beef stock, rosemary, mint, honey, and chili flakes. Cover and bake at 325°F (163°C) for 2.5-3 hours. Serve and bask in your culinary glory. Pressure Cooker Method: Sear the lamb shanks using the sauté function on your pressure cooker. Set aside. Sauté the veggies in the same pot for 5 mins. Add the lamb shanks back in, pour in the red wine, and let it simmer until reduced by half. Add beef stock, rosemary, mint, honey, and chili flakes. Close the lid and cook on high pressure for 45 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10-15 mins, then open and serve. Hybrid Method (For the Impatient Foodie): “I was short on time, so I started with the pressure cooker and then switched to slow cooking for maximum flavor!” Pressure cook the lamb shanks (with all ingredients, including honey and chili flakes) on high for 30 minutes. Release the pressure quickly, then switch to slow cook mode (or transfer to a pot on the stove) and simmer on low for 1-1.5 hours. This gives the flavors time to deepen and the meat to get extra tender. 🤔 Why You Should Make This: It’s fancy AF but secretly easy. Perfect for date night or pretending you’re on MasterChef. 🕺🍴 Your house will smell like a 5-star restaurant. 🏨✨ The honey and chili flakes add a sweet-spicy kick that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance. 🍯🔥 Leftovers? HA. As if. But if you do, they taste even better the next day. 🍲🔥 So, what are you waiting for?
