Raymond Blanc’s Glazed Lamb Shanks
30th January 2026I love this recipe for lamb shanks for many reasons, not least because it is a perfect example of how just a few simple ingredients can come together to create a truly sublime dish—one that tastes and looks as though you have spent hours in the kitchen. Using only lamb shanks, onion, carrot, swede, water, salt and pepper and a little oil, the result is soft, tender, melt-in-the-mouth lamb served with a rich, glossy jus full of the sweet, deep flavour of the meat.
