This slow-braised lamb shank recipe is the kind of nourishing, comforting meal that fills your whole home with warmth. Lamb shanks make a great first food for your baby that you can share too as it’s beautifully tender – the meat falls away from the bone with barely any effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The slow cooking does all the hard work for you, and the sauce is so delicious you\u2019ll want to save every last drop (it makes the most amazing pasta sauce the next day). Meals like this, built around whole ingredients and simple techniques, are exactly the kind you\u2019ll also find in Milk to Meals<\/em>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Age Appropriate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

6 months + <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notes for Serving BLW or Puree<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For BLW, shred the lamb into soft, moist pieces and serve alongside mashed vegetables to help babies scoop and explore. You can also offer the bone which is an amazing ‘hard-munchable’ to chew on.

For pur\u00e9e-style feeding, blend some lamb with the cooked veg and a little broth\/sauce until smooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving Suggestions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Serve the lamb shanks with creamy mashed potato, sweet potato, pumpkin, or a cauliflower-potato mash.
Leftover sauce is beautiful tossed through pasta, spooned over polenta, or served with roasted vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storage for Freezer and Fridge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freeze shredded lamb and sauce in portions for up to 3 months.
Leftover sauce freezes especially well and makes an easy base for future meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredient Swaps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bone broth can be replaced with vegetable broth or stock.
Use dried herbs if fresh herbs aren\u2019t available (1 tsp thyme or rosemary).
Add extra vegetables such as mushrooms, zucchini, or capsicum for more bulk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
