Lamb Shank Recipe

This Lamb Shank Recipe is very quick to prepare. As with most lamb stew recipes, it is imperative that you give the shanks a long, slow bake at a low temperature.

If you want to change the flavor, you could use the spices from Lamb Tagine Recipe.

Ingredients:

You will need a casserole dish with a lid. It is worth using one that can be used on the hob as well to save on washing-up.

Method:

1. Heat the oven to 300° F / 150° C.
2. Trim any excess fat off the lamb shanks. Heat a little oil. Brown the lamb shanks all over. Set aside.
3. Brown the onions until they are a deep caramel color. This helps to give the dish flavor.
4. Add the lamb shanks back to the casserole dish with the onions. Add the tomato ketchup, the beef stock, wine, paprika and fennel seeds.
5. Place a lid on the casserole pan. Bake the lamb shanks for about 3 hours or until really tender. The meat should pull off the bone easily when the shanks are ready. Do check every ½ hour during the cooking process and add extra liquid if necessary.
6. Serve your lamb shank recipe with couscous or quinoa and Roasted Vegetables Recipe.

Budget meal planning tip: use lamb leftovers for Lamb Salad with Couscous and Pesto Sauce or Warm Spinach Salad with Lamb.
