↪️¼ cup full-fat coconut milk or heavy cream (optional for creaminess)

👉Instructions:

✅️1. Heat ghee or oil in a heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb shanks on all sides until nicely browned. Remove and set aside.

✅️5. Stir in the tomato paste and diced tomatoes. Cook for another 2 minutes.

✅️6. Return the lamb shanks to the pot. Pour in the bone broth and bring to a gentle simmer.

✅️7. Cover, lower the heat, and simmer for 2 to 2½ hours, turning the lamb occasionally, until it’s fall-apart tender.

✅️8. (Optional) Stir in coconut milk or heavy cream in the last 15 minutes for a creamier, richer sauce.

✅️9. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with cauliflower rice or sautéed greens for a satisfying keto meal.
