Dinner at Home


Braised Lamb Shanks with Green Beans and Turnips
I tend to become impatient with braising and turn up the heat for the last half hour or so, but these were still quite good.

-2 lamb shanks
-2 large turnips, peeled and roughly chopped
-2 cups green beans
-3 sprigs rosemary
-1 head garlic, peeled
-2 cans chicken broth
-2 tb olive oil
-salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350. Rub the shanks with olive oil, salt and pepper. Remove rosemary leaves from stems and set aside. Pour the chicken broth into a 9x11 dish. Put the peeled garlic cloves, the rosemary leaves and the shanks in the baking dish and cover tightly with foil. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes. Add the turnips and bake for another 45 minutes, covered. Add the green beans and bake uncovered for another 15 minutes or so, until lamb is tender and develops a nice brown crust.
