Ingredients

• 4 pieces lamb shanks
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
• 6 cloves garlic
• 1 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 cup red wine
• 1 cup vegetable broth

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh rosemary, 6 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Mix well to create a marinade.

2. 2

   Add the 4 lamb shanks to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

3. 3

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

4. 4

   Remove the lamb shanks from the marinade and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.

5. 5

   Place the lamb shanks on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until they develop a nice sear.

6. 6

   Once seared, reduce the heat to medium-low and close the grill lid. Continue to cook the lamb shanks for an additional 1.5 to 2 hours, turning occasionally, until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.

7. 7

   In the last 30 minutes of grilling, brush the lamb shanks with the remaining marinade and 1 cup of red wine mixed with 1 cup of vegetable broth to keep them moist.

8. 8

   Once cooked, remove the lamb shanks from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving.

9. 9

   Serve the grilled lamb shanks with your choice of sides, such as grilled vegetables or mashed potatoes.
