Description
Sweet pomegranate cuts through the richness of lamb shanks in this middle eastern inspired dish.
Method
Step 1 of 5
Pre-heat the oven to 120°C.
Step 2 of 5
Heat the oil in a large, oven-safe casserole dish and seal each shank on all sides, cooking for 4-5 minutes until browned. Place the shanks on a plate and add the onion to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, add the garlic and rosemary and cook for 1 minute.
Step 3 of 5
Pour over the pomegranate juice and balsamic vinegar and bring to the boil. Place the lamb shanks back in the casserole dish and cover with a layer of foil and the casserole lid. Bake for 3.5 hours, remove the lid and cook uncovered for 30 minutes more.
Step 4 of 5
Remove the shanks from the sauce and cover with foil. Remove the rosemary from the sauce and place the casserole dish back on the hob. Leave to stand for 5 minutes and skim off some of the excess fat. Turn up the heat, add the pomegranate molasses and cook the liquid down until reduced and glossy, about 10 minutes.
Step 5 of 5
Serve the lamb shanks in the sauce with pomegranate seeds scattered on top.
