Braised Lamb Shanks

Recipe Ingredients

1		No-salt-added crushed tomatoes - (28 oz)
2		Onions - coarsely chopped
1/4 cup	59ml	Dry red wine
4		Garlic cloves - minced
1 teaspoon	5ml	Dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Freshly-ground black pepper
3		Lamb shanks - (12 oz ea) - trimmed
4 cups	640g / 22oz	Hot cooked brown rice

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large nonstick Dutch oven or flameproof casserole, combine the tomatoes, onions, wine, garlic, oregano, cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the lamb. Bake, covered, until the meat almost falls off the bone, about 1 1/2 hours. Let cool until the shanks are comfortable to handle, about 30 minutes.

Cut the meat from the bone; discard the gristle and bones. Return the meat to the tomato mixture and cook over medium heat until heated through, about 10 minutes.

Serve the rice, topped with the meat and sauce.
