Method

  1. 1

    Heat the butter in a large flameproof casserole and brown the lamb shanks all over, then set aside.

  2. 2

    Fry the chopped onion, carrots and parsnips in the same dish for 6 minutes until starting to soften.

  3. 3

    Return the lamb shanks to the dish, pour in the lamb stock, and add the dried rosemary.

  4. 4

    Bring to a simmer, cover and cook gently for 1 hour 10 minutes, turning the shanks occasionally, until the meat is very tender and pulling away from the bone.

  5. 5

    Lift out the shanks and keep warm, then simmer the sauce uncovered for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

  6. 6

    Serve the lamb shanks with the vegetables and sauce spooned over.
