These tender Lamb Shanks in the Slow Cooker are served alongside some soft lemon potatoes. It is super simple to make as everything is cooked together in either your oven or your slow cooker all at once.
Talk about an easy yet elegant dinner eh? I like to make this dinner pretty often actually, that is why I always keep some frozen lamb shanks in my freezer on hand at all times.
I simply allow it to defrost in the fridge 24 hours prior to making this.
Then it really takes not much effort at all and is sure to please just about anyone who has the chance to dine with you.
If you love lamb, you are going to want to keep this recipe. It is a sure winner every time!
CAN LAMB SHANKS BE ROASTED
Yes, I prefer them roasted. They come out very tender this way!
CAN LAMB SHANKS BE GRILLED
Heck yes and they are really good this way as well.
HOW TO COOK LAMB SHANKS
Basically all you are doing here is seasoning the lamb shanks with salt and pepper, then dicing a few potatoes and onions then tossing it all in olive oil, garlic powder and fresh rosemary.
Then you will want to place those potatoes into the bottom of a oven safe dish and then add those Lamb Shanks directly on top of the potatoes.
Drizzle the shanks with olive oil and lemon juice and bake covered in the oven at 350 degrees f for 60 minutes.
WHERE DO LAMB SHANKS COME FROM
The meat right beneath the the leg bone.
HOW MANY LAMB SHANKS PER PERSON
One is typically more than enough, when served alongside a side dish or two.
CAN DOGS EAT LAMB SHANKS
Preferably not, as the bones can splitter. However they do not splinter like chicken bones, so if you monitor your dog and know it won’t choke on it my swallowing it. Then that is up to you, we feed our dogs the bones afterwards. But monitor then eating it.
CAN LAMB SHANKS BE COOKED FROM FROZEN
Yes, but it will take a double the time to cook, so keep that in mind.
The shoulder is then placed into one oven safe pot and then is baked slowly for three hours.
Making it moist, tender and absolutely delicious!
This recipe is something special, if you have never tried lamb shoulder before.
Then this fool proof recipe is sure to impress.
I like to serve this meal with some mashed potatoes, gravy (which is made with the lamb sauce) and a salad.
Yes, it takes some time to make. However the prep takes no time at all, we are talking minutes.
Then all their is to do is allow your oven to do the rest of the work.
While you do whatever else it is you need to do for the day/evening.
But please for the love of GOD do not leave the house with the oven on.
This results in way to many house fires each year and I do not want to be responsible for that.
HOW TO COOK LAMB SHOULDER IN THE OVEN
It is REAL easy, since everything is down in one pot. Basically all your going to have to do is spend less than 5 minutes seasoning it, then you will want to cover it with a oven safe lid. Or if you want you can use tinfoil as well, just make sure their is a gab to allow the air to circulate around the lamb

Great Question: Lamb should be cooked to 145 °F (medium rare), 160 °F (medium), or 170 °F (well done).

These AIR FRYER GREEK LAMB CHOPS are tender and full of flavorful.
If you like my Roasted Lamb Shanks, then you’re going to LOVE THIS RIB RECIPE too!
Once you this recipe, you will honestly wonder how you ever lived with an air fryer.
Since you will see they taste just the same, with less cooking time and not having to heat the whole house up.
If you have never used an air fryer, now is the time. Because they are more affordable now than ever. There are so many on the market as well. I have listed my favorites in the links below in the recipe card!
Air frying is a healthy alternative to deep frying food. And most air fryers have been marketed in a way to make you think that this cooking technique is best for those who make a lot of those at home.
Well I am here to tell you that you do not need to just be a deep fried food lover to want to use this cooking method. RATHER if you love to bake food, then this is also a great alternative. And in most cases is much healthier than traditional baking methods.
Because air frying mimics deep fried foods but uses little to no oil. So you can enjoy all the same deep – fried or baked foods that we have all come to know and love again but in a healthy way.
HOW LONG TO AIR FRY LAMB SHANKS
I use the T-Fal air fryer and put them on for 8 minutes, please check with your air fryers cooking instructions.
However, to convert an oven-cooked recipe to an air-fryer one, the general rule of thumb is to reduce the suggested temperature by 25°F or 3.889 C and then cut the cook time by about 20%
CAN YOU AIR FRY LAMB SHANKS
Yes, and they will turn out just as good as they would as if you were to fry or bake them.
CAN I USE ANY KIND OF AIR FRYER?
YES!
I currently have and use the T-fal ActiFry Fryer.
And cook them in batches of four.
Also on occasion I will use my Gotham Steel Fryer as well AND most recently use the CHEFMAN fryer.
All these tools work well for this recipe!
HOW TO AIR FRY LAMB SHANKS
You will want to start by marinading the lamb in a bowl for up to one hour in the fridge.
The marinade consists of chopped garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme.

It is not recommended to give any dog cooked bones of any kind. They can splitter and be a choking hazard. I like to give my dogs raw chicken and beef bones though. These can be found at your local butcher or at a raw feed dog food store.
However you can use the BONE for an AMAZING SOUP STOCK!
