Until fairly recently any person who expressed concern about the destruction of the environment raised skeptical eyebrows. Those days are over, and it looks like we all recognize our role in stopping and perhaps reversing the damage being done to our planet. Unless everyone begins to start living a lot more eco-friendly we won’t be able to correct the problems of the environment. These kinds of adjustments need to start taking place, and each individual family needs to become more environmentally friendly. Read on for some approaches to go green and save energy, generally in the kitchen.
Why don’t we begin with something quite simple, changing the actual light bulbs. This will probably go beyond the kitchen, but that is okay. Compact fluorescent lightbulbs are energy-savers, and you must use them in place of incandescent lights. They cost a small amount more initially, but they last ten times longer, and use much less electricity. Using these kinds of longer-lasting lightbulbs has the actual benefit that many fewer lightbulbs make it into landfills. It goes further than simply swapping the lights, though; turning off lights that aren’t needed is actually another good thing to do. The kitchen lights especially are often left on the whole day, just because the family tends to spend a lot of time there. Of course this also happens in other rooms, not merely the kitchen. Try keeping the lights off until you absolutely need them, and discover just how much electricity you can save.
From the above it should be clear that just in the kitchen, by itself, there are numerous little opportunities for saving energy and money. Green living is not that tough. Mostly, all it will take is a little bit of common sense.
We hope you got insight from reading it, now let’s go back to date night lamb shanks recipe. To cook date night lamb shanks you only need 11 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you do it.
The ingredients needed to make Date Night Lamb Shanks:
- Take lamb shanks (Make sure your Dutch oven or heavy pot will hold that many)
- Take salt and pepper
- Take Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Get large onion (red, yellow, white… whichever you prefer)
- Prepare garlic cloves whole (don't chop smaller than 1/2 if prefered. They cook up sweet)
- You need Fresh rosemary chopped (about a palm full or two tbls)
- Get articokes (12 in a can)… I'll slice in half as well
- Provide pitted Kalamata Olives halved
- Provide basic tomato sauce see my other recipe
- Take Favored dry white wine (I like pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc)
- Take chicken stock
Steps to make Date Night Lamb Shanks:
- Preheat oven to 375ºF
- Rinse/Pat dry lamb shanks and season liberally with salt and pepper. Using your large heavy bottom pan (Dutch oven/Cast iron pot) drizzle olive oil to coat bottom well (5-6 tbsp) over stove top at med heat. Sear shanks on all sides then remove from pot (set aside).
- To same pot add onion, garlic, artichokes, and rosemary and cook until onions become translucent/soft. Then add olives, wine, sauce, stock and bring to a boil.
- Add the lamb back to the pot and submerge into the liquid atleast 3/4 in thickest part of shank submerged (add more stock/wine/sauce in equal parts if necessary). Cover tightly with lid and place into oven.
- Cook for 1 hr 45 min to 2 hrs turning shanks once half way through cooking time. I find 2 hrs is best. The meat falls off the bone. :)
- Remove from oven and serve! I plate some mashed potatoes or rice and sit the shank right on top and spoon all the goodness it cooked in on top!
