Description

I love it when hearty flavors and tender meat come together! These braised lamb shanks with beans are an absolute highlight, especially in the cold season. The shanks become wonderfully soft and juicy, while the beans contribute a hearty note. The dish is a bit more elaborate, but the taste compensates for every minute. Perfect for a festive meal with family and friends or just to treat yourself. A dash of red wine rounds the whole thing off perfectly. A fresh baguette goes well with it!
