BRAISED SPICED LAMB SHANKS
Steps:
- Grind 1 tablespoon cumin seeds and 1/2 tablespoon coriander seeds in spice or coffee grinder. Transfer to small bowl. Stir in remaining cumin and coriander seeds, thyme, rosemary, curry powder, and salt. Whisk in 1/2 cup oil. Place lamb shanks in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Rub spice oil all over shanks. Cover with plastic wrap; chill overnight, turning occasionally.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large ovenproof pot over high heat. Add lamb shanks and cook until brown on all sides, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add stock and garlic; bring to boil, cover and transfer to oven. Cook 1 hour; remove from oven and turn lamb shanks over. Cover and continue cooking until lamb is tender, about 45 minutes longer. Using tongs, transfer lamb to platter; tent with foil to keep warm.
- Bring liquid in pot to simmer over medium heat. Add potatoes; simmer 10 minutes. Add carrots to liquid and simmer 5 minutes longer. Add tomatoes, zucchini, and asparagus to liquid and simmer until all vegetables are just tender, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to platter with lamb. Pour braising liquid into 4-cup measuring cup. Spoon off fat, reserving 1 tablespoon. Heat reserved fat in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour; stir 2 minutes. Whisk in braising liquid and tomato paste. Boil until gravy coats spoon lightly, about 2 minutes. Serve lamb and vegetables with gravy.
FIVE SPICE LAMB SHANK WITH TAMARIND AND GINGER
This is a very healthy, yet delicious recipe. It is an alternative way to do lamb shanks other than in red wine and beef stock with herbs and vegetables. It is also low in fat and carbohydrates. You can up the carbs by serving this with steamed basmati rice if desired, I just served it with bok choy and gai larn (also known as Chinese broccoli).

Steps:
- In a small heated fry pan, dry-fry chili, cinnamon, five spice and star anise, stirring, until fragrant.
- Combine spices with rice wine, sauce, tamarind, sugar, ginger, garlic and water in a medium jug.
- Place lamb in a baking dish and pour spice mixture over, cover dish with foil. You will bake lamb the entire time covered, just opening to turn lamb occasionally.
- Bake in oven 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 hours at 100°C, then turn up oven to 150°C and bake for a further 1 - 1 1/4hour, finally turn oven up to 180°C and bake for 30 minutes to 1 hour until lamb is falling off the bone.
- Boil or steam bok choy and gai larn separately until tender and drain.
- When lamb is done remove and wrap in foil to keep warm. Strain liquid into a saucepan and bring to boil over a medium heat. Add a little water to cornflour and add to sauce, stir until mixture thickens.
- I stated in ingredients 1 tablespoon, extra, of brown sugar, I have made this several times and sometimes I find it is fine as is and other times I find I need to add the extra sugar, so just taste test to see if you need this.
- This is a great recipe because once you have made the spice mixture to pour over lamb, that is just about it, you can just leave it to cook, with the only thing to remember, to turn the oven up at required times. The lamb comes out perfect every time so juicy and tender.
- To serve: Place a mound of steamed vegetables on plate, place lamb shank on top and drizzle sauce over.
- As I stated earlier to up carbs just serve with some steamed basmati rice.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality lamb shanks for the best flavor and texture. Look for shanks that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling.
- Sear the lamb shanks before braising them to develop a rich, caramelized crust. This will help to lock in the flavor and moisture of the meat.
- Use a flavorful braising liquid. The liquid should be able to penetrate the meat and infuse it with flavor. Common braising liquids include broth, wine, and beer.
- Add aromatics to the braising liquid to enhance the flavor of the lamb shanks. Common aromatics include garlic, onion, carrots, and celery.
- Braise the lamb shanks for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender. The longer you braise the shanks, the more flavorful they will be.
- Serve the lamb shanks with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
Conclusion:
Braised five-spice lamb shanks with soy and ginger is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The lamb shanks are braised in a flavorful liquid until they are fall-off-the-bone tender, and the five-spice powder, soy sauce, and ginger add a unique and delicious flavor to the dish. Serve the lamb shanks with your favorite sides, and enjoy!
