Braised Lamb Shanks On Soft Polenta

(recipe by Deborah Mele www.italianfoodforever.com)

Lamb shanks are the perfect cut of meat to prepare by braising and this recipe is easy enough for a novice to make but perfect for entertaining. After assembling the ingredients in one pot, it is simply put in the oven for 2 to 3 hours and left to cook, which allows the host to visit with guests or to prepare the rest of the meal. Once the lamb has been slowly cooked in the sauce, the meat literally falls off of the bone it is so tender.

As well as the vegetables I have used in this recipe, you could also add mushrooms or artichokes to the dish which I have done in the past. You can use either red or white wine in this recipe although red wine will give a richer flavor while the white wine adds a lighter touch. If using red wine, I would add beef stock while for the white wine I'd use the chicken broth. We like to serve this dish with it's chunky sauce on top of polenta, but it would also be delicious on top of risotto, garlic mashed potatoes, or buttered noodles. I added a tasty gremolata to top he finished dish but you could exclude that step if you desire. Gremolata is simply a mixture of chopped garlic, lemon, and parsley that adds a refreshing flavor to braised Italian meats.
