Instant Pot Italian Style Lamb Shanks
Perfect, fall off the bone, Italian Style Lamb Shanks cooked in an Instant Pot and served on a bed of creamy parmesan loaded mash with gravy and topped with homemade gremolata. A symphony of feel good flavours. Oh and some buttery minted peas on the side is always a good idea.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
For Instant Pot: Press Sauté function and add the shanks and top with onions, garlic, herbs, capers, peppercorns and hot stock. Heat until liquid starts to simmer.
capers30 ml
2
Seal with lid and use Slow Cook setting with More (High) option. Cook for ⏱️ 1 hour ( I choose to do it this way to really allow the flavours to develop). Then change setting to Pressure Cook (High) for ⏱️ 35 minutes.
3
Combine gremolata ingredients together and set aside. This is also a good time to prep your mashed potatoes and peas.
4
Release steam and open. Gently remove lamb shanks from the cooking liquid and set aside*. Press Sauté setting again to reduce the liquid and thicken with a slurry of 10 ml corn flour to create a yummy gravy. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: If you want to brown your shanks a bit, simply drizzle lightly with olive oil and pop into a 200°C oven for ⏱️ 15 minutes. Add back to gravy or serve immediately covered in gravy!
