Ingredients
  

  • ½ t sea salt
  • ¼ t black pepper
  • 2 T coconut flour
  • 4 bone-in lamb shanks about 3½ lbs
  • 3 T avocado oil
  • 1 cup chicken bone broth recipe page xxx
  • 4 dill sprigs + 1½ T finelychopped dill for garnish
  • 2 garlic cloves thinly sliced
  • ½ medium onion diced
  • 1 small lemon sliced, seeds picked out
  • 2 t arrowroot starch
  • 1 T freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ cup toasted pine nuts
  • Sautéed cauliflower rice for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine the salt, pepper, and coconut flour, and mix to combine. Toss each lamb shank in the flour mixture until coated.
  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. When hot, add the lamb shanks and sear on all sides until browned (about 10 minutes). Place them into a 6-quart slow cooker.
  • Add the chicken bone broth, dill sprigs, garlic, onion, and lemon. Cover and cook on HIGH until the lamb is tender (about 4 hours). Place just the shanks into shallow bowls, and keep warm.
  • Place the liquid into a small pot and 2–3 tablespoons into a small bowl. Mix in the arrowroot starch to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the pot, and cook until the starch is dissolved and the juices thicken (about 5 minutes). Add 1 tablespoon chopped dill and lemon juice, and season with salt.
  • Spoon the juices over the lamb shanks and sprinkle with the pine nuts and the remaining dill. Serve with cauliflower rice. Enjoy!
