Classic Braised Lamb Shanks

The Art of Making Lamb Shanks with Carbonara Pizza

Today we're going to make a delicious dish that will transport your taste buds to Italy - lamb shanks with carbonara pizza. This recipe is next level, and I'm excited to share it with you. To start, let's take a look at the ingredients we'll need. We have nice lamb shanks, chopped garlic, diced carrots, diced onion, celery, potatoes, fresh herbs, chicken stock, wine, olive oil, crushed tomatoes, bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, and oregano.

As we begin, I want to share a story with you. I'm currently shooting a video for culture.com, and I had the pleasure of talking to Rabbi Ruben Wolf about the carbonara pizza. He told me that when they were roasting the lamb, they would sing a very holy song. I asked him what song it was, and he couldn't remember, but he knew it was a special moment. He even offered to call his brother-in-law, who is also a rabbi in California, to get more information. I took a chance and called him, and after some conversation, we discovered that the only song that came up when they mentioned roasting lamb was "Oh Yeah".

Now, let's focus on cooking our lamb shanks. We'll start by browning the lamb in olive oil until it's nice and golden. While the lamb is browning, we can prepare our vegetables - onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and potatoes. Once the lamb is done, we'll add it back into the pot with our vegetables and some chicken stock. Let's also add two cups of wine to the pot for added flavor.

Now that our sauce is starting to simmer, let's talk about the importance of using good-quality ingredients. Rabbi Wolf mentioned that crushed tomatoes from Tuscany are a great product and should be used sparingly. I couldn't agree more - waste not, want not! As we continue to cook our sauce, we'll add some fresh herbs like bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, and oregano. The more herbs we use, the more flavor we'll get.

Now that our sauce is almost ready, let's talk about the oven. We'll be cooking our lamb shanks in a preheated oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for three hours. Yes, you read that right - three hours! But trust me, it's worth it. The longer we cook the lamb, the more tender and flavorful it will become.

As we wait for the lamb to finish cooking, let's take a look at our carbonara pizza recipe. We'll need some fresh herbs like bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, and oregano to add extra flavor to our sauce. I also want to mention that we're using olive oil, crushed tomatoes, and chicken stock to make this delicious sauce.

Now that the lamb is done cooking, let's take it out of the pot and transfer it to a baking dish. We'll spoon some of the yummy sauce over the top of the lamb, making sure to save some for the vegetables. I like to think that my wife will enjoy the vegetables, but let's be real - who needs vegetables when you have fall-off-the-bone lamb?

As we take our first bites of this delicious dish, I want to share with you how happy it makes me. It's a true comfort food that never gets old. And if you're feeling adventurous, try cooking the lamb with Cabernet instead of wine - it adds a whole new level of flavor to the dish.

In conclusion, making lamb shanks with carbonara pizza is an art form that requires patience, love, and attention to detail. But trust me, it's worth every minute of effort. So go ahead, take out your apron, and get cooking!
