A recipe from Bill Granger's Holiday Cookbook. I reduced the 5 spice to half a teaspoon as I find it a bit overpowering. Feel free to use the original full teaspoon if you want to..

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 small lamb shanks
plain flour, seasoned with salt and pepper (all purpose)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, cut into thin wedges
3 garlic cloves
1 long red chile, seeded and finely chopped
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
400 g chopped tomatoes
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Dust the shanks in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Heat half the oil in a heavy based pan over high heat and brown the lamb on all sides-this might need to be done in a couple of batches. Remove and set aside.
  • Add the remaining oil to the pan and cook the onion for a 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic, chilli, ginger and five spice and cook stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the remaining ingredients, stir well and bring to the boil.
  • Return the lamb to the pan, reduce the ehat to low and simmer covered for 1 1/2 hours or the meat is almost falling off the bone and very tender.
  • Check the seasonings and skim off any excess oil.
  • Serve over mash (wasabi mash is good) or rice, with steamed green veg and lime wedges.

BRAISED LAMB SHANKS

Provided by Food Network

Time 4h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
4 small meaty lamb shanks (about 4 1/2 pounds), trimmed of fat
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
4 carrots, peeled and finely diced
3 small sprigs fresh rosemary
2 imported bay leaves
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups big-bodied young red wine
2 medium turnips (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into 1/2 inch dice
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh orange zest
1 small garlic clove, minced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat the olive oil in a large, deep Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Season the lamb shanks with salt and pepper and cook, in batches if necessary, turning with tongs, until well browned, about 10 minutes each batch. Remove the lamb shanks with tongs to a plate and set aside.
  • Stir the onions, carrots, rosemary, bay leaves, and garlic into the dutch oven and cook, stirring, until the onions are very soft, about 5 minutes. Add 2 1/2 cups of the wine and deglaze the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning.
  • Return the lamb shanks to the pot and braise the mixture, tightly covered, in the oven for 1 hour. Uncover and braise for 2 more hours, turning the shanks every 30 minutes. Stir in the turnips and the remaining 1/2 cup of the wine, and continue to braise, in the oven for 30 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • While the lamb shanks are braising, make the gremolata: chop together the rosemary, orange zest, and garlic. Place each lamb shank on a serving plate, top with the vegetables, sprinkle with gremolata and serve immediately.

BRAISED ASIAN LAMB SHANKS WITH SHITAKE MUSHROOMS AND SWEET POTATO & CORIANDER MASH image

Categories     Lamb     Braise

Yield 2 people

Number Of Ingredients 24

For the lamb shanks
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 lamb shanks
2 shallots
50g shitake mushrooms
1 inch knob of ginger, peeled
4 garlic cloves
2 small red chillies (medium spicy)
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp soft brown sugar
1 lemongrass stalk
500ml stock (beef is fine)
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp Chinese five spice powder
1 tbsp fish sauce
Juice 1 lime
For the sweet potato mash
350g sweet potatoes
20g butter
1 small red chilli
Small bunch fresh coriander
2 tbsp milk
Salt and pepper
A couple of handfuls of pak choi

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 170C. 2. First, prepare the condiment vegetables: remove the outer stalks of the lemongrass. No need to chop but bruise. Peel and halve the shallots. Cut the chilli in half lengthways and deseed. Cut the ginger in half. Trim the stalks of the mushrooms and leave whole. 3. Then seal the meat. Firstly, season the lamb with salt and pepper. Then heat the vegetable oil in a casserole dish and fry the lamb shanks for 2-3 minutes, turning regularly until browned all over. 4. Remove the lamb and add the onions, garlic, chilli and mushrooms. Fry them for about 1min. Then add the five spice powder and stir again for about 30 seconds. Then add the soy, fish sauce, lime juice, balsamic vinegar and sugar. Heat gently, stirring constantly for another minute or so. Finally add the stock, ginger and lemongrass. 5. Put the lamb back in, cover the casserole with a lid and cook in the oven for 2 hours, until the lamb is really tender, almost falling off the bone. 6. While you're waiting for the lamb, start on the mash. Peel then cut the potatoes into large, fairly even-sized chunks. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil, tip in the potatoes and cook for 15 minutes, until tender but not slushy. 7. While the potatoes are boiling, deesed and finely chop the chilli and the coriander leaves. 8. When the potatoes are done, drain well and return to the saucepan. 9. Push the potatoes to one side of the pan and put the butter into the space. Return the saucepan to a very low heat and let the butter melt. Start mashing the potatoes. 10. Now add the milk and mash the potatoes vigorously, until smooth. Then stir in the chili, coriander, salt and pepper. Take off the heat, put the lid on and keep warm until you're ready to serve.
