A Rare Breed: Pop's Old Place Farm
At Pop’s Old Place, a Maryland Century Farm on the Eastern Shore, the latest generation is bringing back the land, and the livestock, for a bright future.
Made with grass-fed lamb from Pop's Old Place Farm, a Maryland Centry Farm on the Eastern Shore, this dish serves as comfort food in the cool seasons and easy-to-make with farm-fresh ingredients in the spring and summer.
Ingredients
SERVINGS: 2 Serving(s)
- 2 Local lamb shanks (1 per person)
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Pint of whole tomatoes
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
Preparation
Salt and pepper the shanks, then sear in hot Dutch oven (or large iron skillet) using a little olive oil. Add two whole cloves of garlic (a busy farmer doesn’t bother to chop), a pint of whole tomatoes in juice, and two sprigs of fresh rosemary. Cover and bake in the oven at 300 degrees until the shanks pull apart easily, about three hours. Serve over local mashed potatoes.
