Ingredients:
3 lamb shanks (about 4 pounds)
2 cups pomegranate juice
¼ cup honey
1 tablespoon chopped rosemary
1 tsp salt
3 chopped garlic cloves
Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Mix pomegranate juice, honey, salt, chopped rosemary and garlic in a large Ziploc bag. Add the lamb shanks to bag and, if possible, let it marinate several hours in the refrigerator. This recipe can be made in a slow cooker or Dutch oven. If making in the oven, pour all ingredients in a Dutch oven add ½ cup water and bake for 3 hours at 300 degrees. If making in a slow cooker, pour all ingredients in the slow cooker add ½ cup water and cook on high for 6 hours. Serves 4.
Tips:
1) Lamb shanks are wrapped in many layers of plastic, make sure to remove all layers before cooking.
2) This dish is best served over a bed of mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach.
3) Before serving, drizzle with fresh or frozen pomegranate seeds.
About Momma Chef… I am a mom of three active boys (ages 12, 8 and 5). Although I often feel like I’m struggling with some aspect of parenting, my one sanctuary is the kitchen. My children liked different foods and were constantly requesting a variety of things for dinner. Over time, I figured out a way to make food they all love by developing easy, quick recipes. That led to the creation of my blog www.mommachef.com for parents like me. My recipes are simple and delicious, using no more than six ingredients and under six minutes of prep time. It will look like you’ve spent hours in the kitchen with help from Momma Chef. Connect with Momma Chef on Facebook!
