Persian Lamb Shanks
Lamb Shanks braised in a nicely seasoned, flippantly spiced broth till meltingly tender. This gradual cooked Persian Lamb Shank recipe is a standard Persian recipe and it’s the principle dish of this weeks’ Persian Feast!
Cooking meat on the bone is all the time the easiest way to gradual cook dinner meats, like with gradual cooked Beef Quick Ribs and Osso Bucco. The meat is juicier and I’m 100% satisfied it’s extra flavourful too!
Welcome again to PERSIAN WEEK! This week it’s all in regards to the fragrant smells and flavours of Persian meals, the brilliant colors and the chest puffing as you airily inform your loved ones and associates “oh, we’re simply having a Persian Feast tonight.”
(Their eyes boggle, they clap their palms with glee, they suppose you’re the most wonderful cook dinner ever and we inform nobody that each one the recipes are literally fairly simple to make.
So right here’s what’s on the menu in your Persian Feast:
-
In the present day’s Persian Lamb Shank recipe – the principle occasion! Braised till crumble tender in a ravishing fragrant broth. Extremely straightforward with day by day spices you’ll discover at any grocery store!

-
Persian L♥ve Cake – made with semolina and almond meal, it’s soaked with a lemon-rosewater syrup with a touch of citrus and spice flavours. Formally in loooove with the Persian Looooove cake!
I promised straightforward, and straightforward you shall get. There’s nothing tough within the steps and nor are there any laborious to seek out components on this, you’ll discover the whole lot at on a regular basis supermarkets.
The one step beneath you could be questioning about is step 5 the place the liquid is roofed with parchment/baking paper. That is known as a cartouche and it’s a cheffy strategy of utilizing paper as a lid for gradual cooked recipes.
Like a lid, it slows down the speed of liquid evaporation however along with this, it encourages the even distribution of warmth and stops a pores and skin forming on the floor. It’s used generally in some cuisines – together with Japanese cooking!
It’s an optionally available step on this recipe that I like to recommend provided that the liquid stage doesn’t cowl the lamb shanks.
I promised straightforward and I promised crumble, as a result of that’s the one method lamb shanks needs to be. They’re a tricky minimize of meat so that they should be cooked slowly to interrupt down all these fibres!
The sauce for these lamb shanks is the braising liquid that’s lowered down for fairly a while as soon as the lamb shanks are eliminated so the flavour is intensified. I like the golden hue of the sauce from the saffron!
And in case you’re questioning (as a result of I used to be), the sauce just isn’t thickened in anyway and that’s the way in which it’s speculated to be. 🙂
I like lamb shank, and I’ve to say, this Persian Lamb Shank recipe is certainly a shank worthy. Persians know good meals!!! – Johnsat x
