Slow Braised Lamb Shank

 Hi there,

This is my take on a slow braised lamb shank, I have made it twice now and its absolutely lovely served on a bed of potato mash, it complements the lamb really well.....I hope you will enjoy too 😃💛💛💛

Slow Braised Lamb Shank

Ingredients

1 lamb shank
2 carrots cut into 1 cm cubes
2 celery sticks cut into cubes (optional)
½ onion chopped fine
2 tomatoes grated
350 ml red wine
2 sprigs rosemary
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp chili powder
400 ml chicken/ veg stock
20 ml olive oil

Method
1. In a pot on medium heat, add the lamb shank to seal in the juices, 2-3 mins each side.
2. Remove the shank and allow to rest.
3. To the pot add the oil and onions, allow to cook until translucent
4. Add the cumin, coriander and chili powder and allow to cook.
5. Add the carrots and celery and stir to coat the veggies.
6. Add the grated tomatoes and allow to cook.
7. Add half the stock and rosemary sprigs to the pot and stir until boiling and then add the red wine, allow to cook for about 5 mins.
8. Add the lamb shank and allow to cook for around 2 hours on medium low heat, stir and turn the shank occasionally.
9. Allow the shank to cook and the sauce to thicken, if it starts to get too thick, add some stock until the shank is cooked and almost falling off the bone.
10. Once the lamb is tender and breaking off the bone, your lamb shank is ready to serve. 😋❤

Ideally the lamb can be served with potato mash, or savory rice.

This is my take on a Thai chicken curry, my very first attempt. The versatility of the recipe a part from it being healthy, is that you can substitute the chicken with a plant based protein for a vegan option. A pretty tasty dish if I say so myself 😉👌  Thai chicken curry Ingredients 1 tbl sp Coconut oil 1-2 Green chillies ½ Onion (medium) 1 tsp Garlic 1 tsp Ginger 2 tsps Red Curry paste Salt & Pepper to taste 1 Carrot (medium) 2 cups Spinach 1 can Coconut Milk ( 400ml ) 3 tsps Sesame Oil 1 tsp Sesame seeds ½ tsp Paprika ½ tsp Turmeric powder 1 tsp Coriander powder 3-4 Chicken breasts Method Cut the chicken into cubes, add the sesame oil, turmeric and coriander powder, paprika and some salt and sesame seed and mix together, set aside to marinade for a bit. \ Heat the coconut oil to a wok or pan, add the chopped onions and chillies...
