Syrah-Braised Lamb Shanks with Vegetables
Pair with our Gold-Medal winning Deaver Vineyards Syrah (Order ONLINE)
| The Deaver Family Ranch has been a part of Amador County since the days of the California Gold Rush. In addition to the vineyards and winery, we also raise livestock. In the early spring, we have a limited supply of free-range fed spring lamb available. Additional details and suggested menus and pairings are on our Lamb Special webpage HERE. The recipe that follows for Syrah-Braised Lamb shanks with vegetables was specially selected to highlight both our gold medal winning 2006 Lani's Vineyard Syrah and the high quality of our lamb. |  |
| Serve with your favorite vegetable side dishes. Our serving suggestion includes grilled asparagus and tomatoes. You could easily substitute other vegetables fresh from your own kitchen garden. Enjoy!! |
