Ingredients
  • 2 cups pomegranate juice
  • 1⁄4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 3 lamb shanks (about 4 pounds)
Instructions
  1. In a gallon-sized zip-top bag, mix the pomegranate juice, honey, rosemary, salt and garlic. Add the lamb shanks to the bag, and, if possible, let them marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Preheat the oven to 300°F.
  3. In a Dutch oven, place the lamb shanks with their marinade, and add 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of water.
  4. Cover the pot, and bake for 3 hours.
  5. You can also make this in a slow cooker: Place the lamb shanks with their marinade in a slow cooker, and add in 1⁄2 cup of water. Cover, and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours.
Tips:
  1. Lamb shanks are wrapped in many layers of plastic, make sure to remove all layers before cooking.
  2. This dish is best served over a bed of mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach.
  3. Before serving, drizzle with fresh or frozen pomegranate seeds.
