Braised Lamb Shanks With Leeks

• 1 bunch leek
• 4 lamb shanks
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 large garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons rosemary, chopped
• 1 cup white wine

1. Wash leeks very well and slice crosswise, set aside. Leeks are full of grit and dirt so I wash them once they are sliced.
2. Slice garlic cloved thinly.
3. Trim lamb shanks of all fat and be sure to remove the "silverskin".
4. Heat oil med-high in large dutch oven ( larger cuts can be done in a roaster pan and finished in the oven).
5. When oil is hot but not smoking, brown meat very well on all sides, set aside.
6. Turn pan down to med-low and add garlic and leeks, saute 10 minutes.
7. Return shanks to pan, season with s+p and srinkle rosemary over all.
8. Add wine and bring to a simmer.
9. Reduce heat to low and cover for 2 1/2 hours, turning once to season second side.
