Lamb Shank Lunch

bgebrent

It was supposed to be dinner last night, then we found the lobster on sale. So it's lunch today.  Garlic and rosemary marinade. A little grape vine smoke.  Not my favorite cut of lamb but it was mild and tasty.

Looking good....once again!!!

I have a hard time finding lamb, here in central Cali...must be a regional thing.

Thanks man.  Can't imagine why it wouldn't be plentiful in your neck of the woods.

Brent - this string of vacation cooks is impressive.  Clearly cooking is a big part of your down time at the lake.  Great plating btw.

Brother, been super busy lately and not getting in too many cooks.  Once that changed I decided to overcompensate.  You are exactly correct.  Thanks man!

Great cook. How was the grape smoke with lamb, add a lot? 
Looks great as always.

I liked it Ron.  It added a subtle floral/smoke note to the mild lamb, not a heavy smoke.  I'd use it again

Nice, I like the idea, and will try it with poultry.

Great with poultry!  Still in limited quantity.  Also great with seafood.

YukonRon

Seafood, scallops?

Yessir.  Its mild, fruity/floral smoke and the brief time the seafood is on the grill allows just a kiss of that smoke.  Try it my friend.  I love it.

I love shank but I've never egged it. Looks awesome. I'm a huge fan of slow braised shanks on a cold winters day. Mmm...  Shanks.

Brother heel, I'm really just a hack (read blind squirrel) that finds a nut on occasion.  Just ask @tarheelmatt.  I appreciate your kind words brother!!

My favourite cut of meat. How long did you cook it?

Took 1:45 at 3:50 dome. Got just past MR but still tasted great. Any advice is welcomed brother!

Couldn't give any. I smoked one once for like 6 hours and it was good but too smoky. I've braised a ton of them though.

It's a classic braise for sure.  Turned out nice though.  Thanks.

I wonder if a ( 1 - 1 ) smoke then wrap with liquid would be good?

It would but this was also good.  Lamb shanks traditionally are braised.  I tried being lazy and it was pretty good!
