Instructions
1
Prep
Pat the lamb shank dry, season with salt and pepper, and let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes while preheating the oven to 325°F.
2
Sear
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe pot over medium-high heat and sear the shank on all sides for 6 minutes until deeply browned.
3
Braise
Sauté onion, carrot, celery and garlic for 5 minutes until softened, then deglaze with beef stock and stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, cumin, paprika and bay leaf. Nestle shank into liquid, cover, and braise in the oven at 325°F for 2 hours until the meat pulls easily from the bone.
4
Reduce
Uncover and return to the oven at 375°F for 15 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats a spoon.
5
Plate
Remove from heat and rest for 10 minutes, then transfer the shank to a plate, spoon vegetables and sauce around it, and scatter parsley over the top.
