Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 170C
- Massage lamb shanks with spice mix olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Let it marinate for at least an hour.
- In a heavy based pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium high heat. Cook Lamb shanks turning regularly, until browned all over 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate.
- Wipe the pan down before adding another drizzle of olive oil into it, add the carrots, onions, garlic and celery and cook until softened, stirring occasionally. Return lamb shanks back in the pan, add the stock, dried apricots and the chopped tomatoes. Bring to a boil, cover with a lid and place in the oven for 1.5- 2 hours or until the shanks are tender.
- Half an hour before the end, take the lid off and give it a stir before putting it back into the oven to brown and reduce.
Top Tips
If the sauce has not reduced enough and the shanks are already tender, Remove the lamb onto a plate, and return the pan back on high heat for 5-10 minutes to thicken, making sure to stir so that the base does not burn.
