Season the shanks with salt and pepper. Working in batches, sear the shanks, turning as needed, until browned on all sides, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a platter and pour off the fat from the pot. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pot and place over medium-low heat. Add the carrot, onion and celery and saut\u00c3\u00a9 until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the thyme, bay leaf, and garlic and tomato paste. Stir in 1\/2 teaspoon salt, season with pepper, and stir for 1 minute. Add the wine, broth and lemon and lime zests and juices. Return the shanks to the pot and bring the liquid to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook in the oven, turning the shanks every hour, until the meat is completely tender, about 2 1\/2 hours. Transfer the shanks to a platter and keep warm in the oven. Pour the juices from the pot into a large, heatproof measuring pitcher and let stand for 1 minute. The fat will rise to the top. Use a bulb baster to transfer the juices underneath the fat to a small saucepan. Simmer to reduce slightly. Stir in the orange zest and juice. Drizzle the reduced juices over the lamb shanks and serve. Serves 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2 T. olive oil 4 lamb shanks, about 1 lb.
