05/10/12 Lamb Shank With Artichokes & Olives
RECIPE
Serves 2
A CookTale
Unless there are carnivores in your family, one large Lamb Shank, weighing just under two pounds, should amply serve two. And there might be leftovers. You’ll be surprised how easy it’s all assembled with relatively few major ingredients. After about one and a half hours in the oven, the look, the scent & the taste will proclaim that Autumn has arrived. Roasted Brussel Sprouts made a fine side dish.INGREDIENTS1 large meaty Lamb Shank
Kosher Salt & Pepper
2 TB of EVOO
1 Spanish Onion, chopped into 1/4-inch dice
5 Cloves Garlic, peeled but left whole
2 TB of freshly chopped Rosemary Leaves
