Original cookbook page 304

Restaurant-quality lamb shank braised in the Instant Pot with red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot), chicken stock, rosemary, and thyme. A meal costing less than 5 Euros per person.

Ingredients

• 4 lamb shanks
• Paprika for marinade
• Tomato paste for marinade
• Red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot)
• Chicken stock
• Fresh rosemary
• Fresh thyme
• 1 large carrot, diced
• 1 onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic
• Cornflour for thickening
• Butter for finishing gravy
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Coat lamb shanks in a paprika-tomato marinade and let sit for 10 minutes.
2. Using the Instant Pot sauté function, brown the marinated lamb shanks on all sides until well-seared.
3. Add diced carrot, onion, and garlic to the pot. Sauté briefly.
4. Add red wine, chicken stock, rosemary, and thyme. The liquid should partially cover the lamb shanks.

6. Remove lamb shanks and keep warm. Strain the cooking liquid.
7. In a saucepan, thicken the strained liquid with cornflour and finish with butter to create a glossy gravy. Season with salt and pepper.
