Lamb Shanks

pull_my_butt · Jul 17, 2013

I got 2 lamb shanks on sale yesterday. They are slightly smaller than a turkey drumstick that you would get a the fair. How would you recommend cooking them? Are they good on the smoker or is this more of an oven-style meat?

Thanks.

do a search for lamb shanks, and find a post by Phrasty. I did shanks based on one of his posts, and they were fantastic.

I did them on the smoker once, and quite frankly, I like them better when braised. You can do that on a smoker or grill, but in a pan with some liquid.

My own favorite way is to braise them in a cast-iron dutch oven (lid on), with wine, chicken stock, herbs, spices and some quartered red potatoes. I still go low and slow, but with the meat constantly basting in juices.
