Pulled Lamb Sandwiches with Goat Cheese, Arugula, and Caramelized Onions

Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 American lamb shanks (about 3 pounds)

  • 1 quart chicken broth

  • 2 tsp chili powder

  • 2 medium onions

  • 2 Tbs olive oil

  • 8 slices rustic bread, toasted, or 4 crisped tortillas

  • 1 container (5 to 6 ounces) spreadable goat cheese

  • 2 cups arugula or baby spinach leaves

  • 2 tomatoes, sliced, or 4 bottled roasted red bell peppers, drained

Savory lamb shanks, creamy goat cheese, peppery arugula, and caramelized onions comprise this outstanding sandwich.

Directions

  • In a kettle, combine lamb shanks with broth, chili powder and 1 onion, sliced. Cover; bring to a boil. Simmer 2 hours or until lamb is tender.
  • Remove shanks from broth and when cool enough to handle, pull meat off bones into shredded pieces.
  • Slice remaining onion; gently sauté in oil over medium heat until sweet and caramelized.
  • Spread bread with goat cheese. Stack 4 slices with arugula, tomatoes, shredded lamb and caramelized onions. Close sandwiches. If preferred, stack all ingredients on tortillas.
