Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Meat
In a cast iron pot or Dutch oven, heat the butter and a drizzle of olive oil.
Add the sliced onion and let it soften gently.
Place the lamb shanks in the pot and brown them on all sides. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Add Flavors
Mix the honey with the herbs and brush it generously over the lamb shanks.
Let it caramelize slightly.
Deglaze the pan with a splash of Muscat wine or broth to balance the sweetness.
3. Slow Roast
Add the crushed garlic cloves (with skin on) to the pot.
Cover and bake in the oven at 150°C (300°F) for 2.5 to 3 hours.
Turn the shanks every 30 minutes to ensure even cooking and flavor.
4. Finishing Touch
Once cooked, strain the juices from the pot.
Reduce the sauce over medium heat until it becomes syrupy and rich, then pour over the meat before serving.
