Before you jump to Date Night Lamb Shanks recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Methods To Live Green And Save Money In The Kitchen.

It was certainly not that long ago that hippies and tree huggers were the only ones to show concern concerning the well-being of the surroundings. Those days are over, and it seems we all comprehend our role in stopping and possibly reversing the damage being done to our planet. According to the experts, to clean up the environment we are all going to have to make some improvements. These kinds of adjustments need to start happening, and each individual family needs to become more environmentally friendly. The kitchen is a good starting point saving energy by going a lot more green.

Refrigerators and freezers use a lot of electricity, particularly when they are not running as economically as they should. You can save up to 60% on energy whenever you get a new one, when compared with those from longer than ten years ago. The appropriate temperature for food is 37F within the fridge and 0F in the freezer, and sticking to these will use much less electricity. Checking that the condenser is clean, which means that the motor needs to work less frequently, will also save electricity.

The kitchen by itself gives you many small ways by which energy and money can be saved. Environmentally friendly living is not that hard. A lot of it truly is basically using common sense.

We hope you got insight from reading it, now let’s go back to date night lamb shanks recipe. To cook date night lamb shanks you only need 11 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you do it.

The ingredients needed to make Date Night Lamb Shanks:
  1. Take lamb shanks (Make sure your Dutch oven or heavy pot will hold that many)
  2. Use salt and pepper
  3. You need Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  4. Prepare large onion (red, yellow, white… whichever you prefer)
  5. You need garlic cloves whole (don't chop smaller than 1/2 if prefered. They cook up sweet)
  6. You need Fresh rosemary chopped (about a palm full or two tbls)
  7. You need articokes (12 in a can)… I'll slice in half as well
  8. Take pitted Kalamata Olives halved
  9. You need basic tomato sauce see my other recipe
  10. Get Favored dry white wine (I like pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc)
  11. You need chicken stock
Steps to make Date Night Lamb Shanks:
  1. Preheat oven to 375ºF
  2. Rinse/Pat dry lamb shanks and season liberally with salt and pepper. Using your large heavy bottom pan (Dutch oven/Cast iron pot) drizzle olive oil to coat bottom well (5-6 tbsp) over stove top at med heat. Sear shanks on all sides then remove from pot (set aside).
  3. To same pot add onion, garlic, artichokes, and rosemary and cook until onions become translucent/soft. Then add olives, wine, sauce, stock and bring to a boil.
  4. Add the lamb back to the pot and submerge into the liquid atleast 3/4 in thickest part of shank submerged (add more stock/wine/sauce in equal parts if necessary). Cover tightly with lid and place into oven.
  5. Cook for 1 hr 45 min to 2 hrs turning shanks once half way through cooking time. I find 2 hrs is best. The meat falls off the bone. :)
  6. Remove from oven and serve! I plate some mashed potatoes or rice and sit the shank right on top and spoon all the goodness it cooked in on top!

Adapted from a recipe by David Tanis, these slow-cooked lamb shanks are beautifully spiced and spoon-tender. Dates give some body and sweetness to the sauce while fresh pomegranate pips add lift. The shank is the the part of the animal between the hoof and the knee, right below Last night, we had a couple of friends over for dinner both of whom have had extensive travels around Thanks for making my date night so great! Now I just have to live up to it on our next date! Slow Cooked Lamb Shanks in Red Wine and Garlic.
