Per-ingredient cost is the amount this recipe uses at the lowest Canadian price we have on file; the per-serving total above adds the range up to the dearest price and for buying whole packages. A line marked not counted is one we couldn't measure from the amount as written — it is missing from the total, not free.

Method

1. In a large skillet over high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the lamb shanks and sear on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, tomato paste, chicken broth, salt, orange zest, orange juice, lemon zest, lemon juice, lime zest, and lime juice.
3. Transfer the seared lamb shanks to a 6- to 8-quart (5.5-to 7.5-liter) slow cooker and pour the vegetable mixture over the lamb shanks.
4. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
5. Strain the vegetables from the braising liquid and use as a topping for lamb. Serve hot.
