  • 1-1/2 cup tomato marinara sauce (variation: tomato sauce substitute from RecipeBase)
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour [variation: spelt flour or other compliant flour]
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons minced garlic

  • Using dutch oven on stove, heat olive oil and brown lamb shanks on all sides
  • Remove lamb shanks from dutch oven and lightly saute onions, garlic, adding paprika and rosemary after a few minutes
  • Deglaze pan with wine (or stock) and stir gently to remove any brown bits from bottom of dutch oven
  • Add remaining wine, stock, marinara, optional olives, lemon zest and juice and bay leaf
