Braised Lamb Shanks

During our last visit to London, my wife’s family treated us to a wonderful family dinner of Braised Lamb Shanks with Mushrooms. Served with creamy mashed potatoes, fresh parsley and a hearty red wine sauce, this dish is the perfect entree for an intimate Easter meal.

My wife’s cousin, Sara, was kind enough to share the recipe with us. This preparation serves four people, but you can easily double it for a larger gathering.

The sauce comes together quickly, thanks to a stock made with Knorr lamb stock cubes, which are available on Amazon and at some grocery stores. Serve on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes with a side of sautéed carrots and Brussels sprouts.
