1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2

Place lamb shanks in a roasting pan. Drizzle with oil; season generously with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle with dried rosemary and thyme.
3

Roast in the preheated oven until lamb shanks are brown, about 30 minutes.
4

Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
5

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, and carrot; cook until onion is browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in flour until combined. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute. Stir in wine, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir in broth, water, vinegar, and cinnamon; pour over lamb shanks.
6

Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil, sealing it loosely so the sauce can reduce slightly as it cooks.
7

Bake lamb shanks in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Flip lamb shanks; place the foil back on the pan. Continue baking until lamb shanks are fork-tender, about 1 hour more. Transfer lamb shanks to a large bowl, cover with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes.
8

Meanwhile, transfer braising liquid to a saucepan over high heat; boil for 10 minutes, skimming fat as it reduces and slightly thickens. Stir in minced fresh rosemary; taste and adjust seasonings. Serve lamb shanks with sauce.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
