Ingredients

8 Lamb Loin Chops Pat Dried
1 large Onion Diced
3 Leeks Roughly Chopped
6 cloves Garlic whole
6 stalks Celery Chopped
4 large Carrots or Parsnips Chopped
2 cups Beef Broth
1 cup White Wine Semi-Dry
½ cup Water
¾ cup Dry Great Northern Beans Soaked Overnight, Then Rinsed

Instructions

Prepare the cannellini beans by soaking them in a medium bowl of water overnight for8-10 hours, drain and rinse before cooking.
Pat dry the lamb shanks and season with olive oil, salt, pepper. Pan sear in a dutch oven until slightly golden brown.
To the dutch oven, add in the chopped veggies, then pour in the white wine, beef broth, and water. Close the lid and let braise on the stove on a medium low heat for 1 hour.
After 50 minutes have passed, preheat the oven to 350º and pour in the rinsed cannellini beans, then top with the thyme and rosemary bundle.
Close the lid and let cook in the oven for another 2 hours or until the lamb is very fork tender.

Notes

Sear the lamb chops before braising to give the lamb more flavor as it renders down and cooks in the oven.

When adding the braising liquid, you do not want to cover all of the lamb and vegetables as this will actually be counterproductive. You want just enough liquid to cover 50-60% of the meat and vegetables which will give the meat enough room to cook down.

Season as you go, and be sure to season the lamb chops before you sear them.

Do not opt for canned white beans. The canned beans will become complete mush as they are technically already cooked. Dried beans soaked overnight is my recommendation and tip.
