Instructions

1. Heat extra virgin olive oil in a cast iron Dutch oven over medium to medium-high heat, enough to cover the base.
2. Add the chopped onion, celery and carrot, stir to coat in oil, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
3. Uncover and stir, then brown the lamb shanks one at a time, 5 minutes per side.
4. Turn them again and cook a couple more minutes per side until golden on all sides.
5. Add the vegetable stock and cover, then cook on medium-low heat for 10 minutes.
6. Uncover and add both bottles of passata. Rinse each bottle with a little water, shake, and add that liquid to the pot.
7. Season generously with salt and pepper, lower the heat to low and stir until the sauce coats the lamb.
8. Cover and cook on low heat for 3 hours, stirring the sauce and turning the shanks every 30 minutes, until very tender.
