EASTER AND PASSOVER MENU SOLVED: OH-SO EASY POMEGRANATE BRAISED LAMB SHANKS
Our family, like most, have tried-and-true holiday traditions that we follow and cherish each year. But I also try to come up with something new for many holidays that I hope will turn into time-honored traditions. This year, I created a perfect dish for both Easter and Passover — braised lamb shanks. The pomegranate juice adds a bit of sweetness that brings out the delectable flavor of the lamb. And with this beautiful presentation, no one will believe that it took just five minutes to create. Your family and holiday guests will be impressed with this easy and delicious recipe!
- 3 lamb shanks (about 4 pounds)
- 2 cups pomegranate juice
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 chopped garlic cloves
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Mix pomegranate juice, honey, salt, chopped rosemary and garlic in a large Ziploc bag. Add the lamb shanks to bag and, if possible, let it marinate several hours in the refrigerator.
- This recipe can be made in a slow cooker or Dutch oven.
- If making in the oven, pour all ingredients in a Dutch oven add ½ cup water and bake for 3 hours at 300 degrees.
- If making in a slow cooker, pour all ingredients in the slow cooker add ½ cup water and cook on high for 6 hours. Serves 4.
- Lamb shanks are wrapped in many layers of plastic, make sure to remove all layers before cooking.
- This dish is best served over a bed of mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach.
- Before serving, drizzle with fresh or frozen pomegranate seeds.

This looks so gorgeous. We love Lamb in our family. I do prefer NZ Lamb, but to me all meat is good.

This looks soo good. Very picture worthy! LOL!
We’ve made this before and used dry dates chunks instead and they taste excellent. Beware though: dates is for people like dates, not for everyone.

I am a huge Lamb fan! This recipe looks really delicious! I will have to make it for my family!
Yum! I love the addition of the pomegranates. I love a good traditional Easter meal.
We were thinking about having lamb for Easter tomorrow. I was unaware of how to prepare it but it looks like I got some help from this post!
I have never had lamb before. This recipe looks delicious and would be perfect for Easter brunch.
My husband and my nephews would be so over the moon when I prepare this dish for them. I’m definitely keeping the recipe! Thanks!
I don’t eat meat but I’d love to serve this to my family on Easter. They’re going to appreciate this very much. The play with flavors is just amazing.
I am not gonna lie….although this looks delicious and yummiest, I would probably not make it because I am terrible I the kitchen. I’ll just settle for looking at the pics?
Looks delicious! I love cooking lamb shanks, the longer you leave them, the better they taste. I will try this recipe too
This looks so delicious! We’re having ham on Easter! I need to try this sometime.

I have never made lamb as I had no clue how to make it. The slower cooker is a great way for me to make it for my husband.

This sounds delicious! Love the slow cooker option. Definitely trying this one out.
This recipe looks amazing. I’ve never been a huge fan of lamb but if it tastes as good as it looks then I’m on board!
I don’t really like lamb, but this recipe sounds fabulous! This might actually make me like lamb.
