What to Serve with Lamb Shanks in Red Wine (20 Easy Sides)
The secret to serving the perfect side dish with Lamb Shanks in Red Wine is to make sure that it's not too heavy. These shanks are already rich and meaty, so you don't want to add a side dish that's going to make the meal feel heavy and cloying.In general, lighter sides work best for lamb shanks—think roasted vegetables, sautéed greens (like spinach or kale), or potatoes that have been coated in olive oil and roasted at high heat until they're crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.If you're serving a salad, go light on the vinaigrette—just enough to dress it—and keep it simple with lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, maybe some croutons if you're feeling fancy.If you're not sure whether or not your side dish is too heavy, just ask yourself: "Is this making me feel full?" If yes, then it might be too much food; if no, then give yourself a pat on the back!
