Spiced Lamb Shanks with Tzatziki

1: Preheat the oven to 325°F.

2: Rub mustard evenly over lamb shanks, then season with smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, aleppo pepper, oregano, and cumin.

3: Heat olive oil in a dutch oven and sear lamb shanks on all sides until the exterior is crispy.

4: Remove lamb shanks and set aside.

5: Add onion and entire garlic cloves to the dutch oven, sauté until onions begin to soften (about 5 minutes).

6: Add tomato paste and cook for an additional two minutes until it begins to brown.

7: Deglaze with beef bone broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to release stuck bits.

8: Return lamb shanks to the pan, add the cinnamon stick, and braise uncovered for three hours until the meat is tender.

9: To make tzatziki, combine yogurt, cucumber, garlic, fresh dill, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl and mix well.
