How to Make Braised Lamb Shank

Cooking steps

1. 1

   Sear the shanks

   Brown the shanks on all sides in a little oil in the pot, then set them aside.

2. 2

   Prepare the onions

   Slice the onions and fry them in the same pot until golden. Add the garlic, turmeric and pepper.

3. 3

   Slow cooking

   Place the shanks on the onions. Add the cinnamon stick, bay leaves and water. Cover the pot and cook over low heat for about 3 to 4 hours until the meat is completely tender and falls off the bone.

4. 4

   Add the saffron

   In the last 30 minutes, add the brewed saffron and salt for better colour and aroma.

5. 5

   Thicken the sauce

   At the end, the cooking liquid should be reduced and thick. If there is too much, boil it uncovered for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
