What goes well with lamb shanks

  • Roasted Vegetables: Root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and parsnips roasted with herbs complement the richness of lamb shanks perfectly.
  • Creamy Polenta or Mashed Potatoes: A bed of creamy polenta or smooth mashed potatoes pairs well with the succulent, tender meat and helps soak up the flavourful sauce.
  • Fresh Green Salads: A crisp, fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette balances the heartiness of lamb shanks and adds a refreshing element to the meal.
  • Couscous or Quinoa: For a lighter side, couscous or quinoa can be flavoured with herbs and spices, providing a delightful texture contrast to the slow-cooked lamb.
