Ingredients

  • 3 lamb shanks
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup chile powder
  • 1 Tbs kosher salt
  • 1 Tbs black pepper, cracked
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup onions, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 sprigs thyme

  • 2 bay leaves
  • Mashed Potatoes4 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 4 oz unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves roasted garlic, pureed

  • Mix together flour, chile powder, salt, and pepper. Roll lamb shanks in this flour mixture.
  • In a large roasting pan, heat oil and sear shanks.
  • Add onions, celery, carrots, and garlic; continue to sear.
  • Add wine, broth, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cover.
  • Cook for 2 hours and 15 minutes, turning shanks occasionally, until meat is very tender. Pull meat from the bone; continue to simmer over low heat until stew thickens slightly.
  • Strain the sauce from the bottom of the pan and reduce by half. Add back; cool.

  • Drain water from potatoes; place potatoes in mixer with paddle attachment.
  • Add 1 cup cream mixture; mix until blended. Slowly add garlic cloves and remaining cream while mixer is on medium speed. Add salt and pepper to taste.
