    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C). Prepare the ingredients by finely chopping the onion and garlic.

    2

    Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb shanks on all sides until golden brown.

    3

    Remove the lamb shanks from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, sauté the onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

    4

    Add the harissa paste, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, and coriander to the pot. Stir well and cook for 2 minutes to bloom the spices.

    5

    Pour in the canned chopped tomatoes and beef stock, then bring to a simmer.

    6

    Return the lamb shanks to the pot, cover, and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5-3 hours, basting occasionally with the sauce, until the lamb is very tender.

    7

    Once the lamb is fork-tender, remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh coriander before serving.
