TOP TIPS FOR MAKING THIS LAMB RECIPE
- The more colour you get on your shanks when you brown them off, the better the flavour will be at the end.
- Your oven cook time may vary depending on the size of the shanks.
- You could serve these shanks whole, or pull the lamb from the bones
Total Time: 3hours hours 45minutes minutesIngredients
- 4 lamb shanks trimmed
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 medium brown onions sliced
- 1½ tablespoon plain flour
- 3 fresh garlic cloves crushed
- 1½ teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1½ teaspoon ground coriander
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 3 cups beef stock
- 1 orange, juice & zest approx ⅓ cup juice
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
Instructions
- Pre heat oven to 150c/300f.
- Heat olive oil in a heavy based pot/dutch oven (with lid) over medium high heat, brown the shanks (4) well all over and then remove to a plate.
- Carefully drain excess oil from the pot leaving about 1 tbsp, then add sliced onions (2 medium) to the same pot and fry onions over medium low heat until they start to soften. Sprinkle plain flour (1½ tbsp) over softened onions, and stir over medium low heat for a minute.
- Add crushed garlic (3 cloves), sweet paprika (1½ tsp), ground cumin (1½ tsp), ground coriander (1½ tsp), ground cloves (¼ tsp) and cinnamon (⅛ tsp) to onions, and continue to fry for another minute.
- Then add tomato paste to onions, and fry for another minute. Add beef stock (3 cups) and orange juice (from 1 orange - approx ⅓ cup) and salt (½ tsp) to onion mixture and mix well, scraping up any flavour spots from the bottom of the pot.
- Return shanks to pot and bring to a simmer, place the lid on and transfer to the oven to bake for 3 hours or until cooked through and falling away from the bone. Stir orange zest (from 1 orange) through sauce and serve.
