Lamb Shanks with OrzoEver tried orzo? If not, then you're missing a great
culinary treat. Orzo is a wonderful pasta that looks
like large grains of rice. But it's actually made from
semolina. It's delicately flavored and chewy - an
interesting and flavorful change from bread and
potatoes. You can cook it and mix it with diced tomatoes
(peeled and seeded!), scallions, minced basil, and
broccoli and cauliflower florets.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 onions, sliced
6 lamb shanks
1 28-ounce can tomatoes
3 teaspoons oregano
Sea salt & freshly ground Black
Pepper to taste
2 cups orzo
2 cups hot chicken stock
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 375 F.
Drizzle the oil in a large roasting pan. Add the onions and evenly
distribute the lamb shanks in the bottom of the pan.
Cover with foil and roast for about 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and add the tomatoes, oregano, salt and
pepper. Toss the ingredients, then cover and roast for
another 20 minutes.
While the shanks are roasting, heat the chicken stock. When the shanks are done roasting, add the orzo and the heated stock. Cover and roast for another 20 minutes. Serve piping hot with steamed green
beans.
