Stout-Braised Lamb Shanks

Credit: Dory
View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Any time you want to braise, your Dutch oven has your back, allowing you to sear your meat and then braise right in one pot for less cleanup and no loss of flavor. Whole lamb shanks are a great dish to serve when you want a make-ahead dish that is still dinner party elegant. This version is braised in rich stout for a deeply intense gravy that stands up to the meat.
