Ingredients
- 4 lamb shanks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 onions, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Begin by seasoning the lamb shanks with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in the Instant Pot on the sauté setting. Add the lamb shanks and brown them on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the shanks and set them aside.
2. Add the onions to the Instant Pot and sauté until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for an additional minute. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine. Add the chicken broth, rosemary, and thyme. Stir to combine.
3. Add the lamb shanks back to the Instant Pot and close the lid. Set the pressure release valve to “sealing” and cook on high pressure for 20 minutes. When the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes and then manually release the remaining pressure.
4. When the pressure is released, open the lid and transfer the lamb shanks to a serving platter. Strain the cooking liquid and discard the solids. Serve the lamb shanks with the cooking liquid, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
