Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 8 Hind quarter lamb shanks
  • 1 Sprig rosemary chopped
  • 1/2 Bunch thyme chopped
  • 8 Clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 Litres Lamb stock
  • 100 grams Sliced eschallots
  • 1/2 Bottle Good red wine

  • 1 Cup Chopped flat leaf parsley
  • 3 Bay leaves

Method

  1. Marinate the lamb overnight with the garlic, herbs and red wine.
  2. Pre heat the oven to 140c, place the drained shanks in a heavy pot with a lid, brown for 10 minutes then add the saved red wine, bay leaves and the lamb stock.
  3. Cook, covered for at least 2 hours, they are ready when the bones moves freely in the shank. Leave over night in the liquid.
  4. The next day scrape off the fat and slowly reheat. Serve with some roast chats and a great bottle of Best of Vintage.

  • This looks like a lovely winter dish – hearty and wholesome. I don’t particularly like lamb but i know it is a household staple for many and a dish like this would be so good on a cold winters night. It looks like it would be rich in flavour and truly satisfying to eat.

  • I’m a vegetarian and struggling with prepping lamb as the smell is quite overwhelming. Luckily my husband is not as keen on lamb meat. I do remember I made once a similar recipe for a group of friends who cam over for dinner. However I didn’t cook it in the oven but in the slow cooker. And my friends thought it was really good.

  • This sounds quite easy and with little handling of the meat (always struggle with that as vegetarian).
