- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 cups apple vinegar
- 2 cups beef stock

Instructions
- Season lamb shanks with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear the shanks until browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté onion, carrots, celery, and garlic for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in tomato paste and cook for an additional minute.
