Braised Pulled Lamb Shanks

"It’s really an honor to partner with KOL Foods to bring you this recipe. If you’ve seen my other KOL Foods recipes you will know that I am a big fan of their organic and pasture raised meat, poultry and fish. They are a company with a moral backbone, paying their farmers a livable wage and raising their animals in a hormone-free and healthy environment. Their focus of green energy, clean and healthy eating is a beacon of light in the food industry.

Braising the lamb shanks with plenty of onions makes meat that is soft and succulent. The onions add a sweetness to the lamb stock when they cook over time. You can braise in red wine or stock. I used a quart of KOL Foods lamb stock that I had slow cooked overnight sweet potatoes and onions for an additional punch of natural sweetness." - This American Bite 

Ingredients: 

  • 6 KOL Foods grass-fed, pastured Lamb Shanks

  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons white pepper
  • 4 carrots
  • 1 quart grass-fed, pastured Beef or Chicken Broth

If your lamb is frozen, defrost it overnight in the fridge.

Slice the onions and put them in the bottom of a large braiser or slow cooker.

Mix the spices in a small bowl then sprinkle generously over the lamb. Put the lamb on top of the onions, peel the carrots and put them in the braiser. Then add the stock.
