Braised Lamb Shanks with Sweet Peppers
17 ingredients
openrecipes
Braised lamb shanks are an impressive and generous meal. If you like, remove the meat from the bones to serve an extra person or two. The topping of quickly sautéed peppers and crumbled feta adds tangy, fresh flavor and color to each serving. Accompany with orzo tossed with olive oil, finely chopped tomato and minced fresh parsley.
