Direcciones
- 1. Heat the oil in a wide, non-stick frying or sauté pan that has a close fitting lid. I just say wide so that all the meat can touch the bottom of the pan while it browns and cooks. I you don’t have a pan wide enough, don’t worry, just brown the shanks in stages, and you may need to use a little more liquid to cook so that the lamb is flavoured by all the ingredients in the cooking liquor.
- 2. Brown the meat in the pan, turning it until you get some nice colour. Remove, and set aside.
- 3. Don’t clean the pan, just add the shallots and allow them to brown. Then return the lamb to your pan.
- 4. Add the garlic, tomato purée, honey, oregano, cumin, chili powder, some salt and stir through. Then add the white wine and the vinegar. Stir through and cover.
- 5. Don’t worry if the liquid does not completely cover your meat, the idea is to create quite a rich, thick sauce.
- 6. Stew on a low heat for 2 hours, or until the meat is so tender that it falls off the bone. Keep the pan covered. Turn the meat every half hour or so making sure it gets a chance to completely cook in the liquor. Make sure the heat is correct, it should bubble very gently. If the pan gets too dry, just add a little water.
- 7. Just before serving, stir through most of your herbs, keeping a little back to sprinkle over the dish as presentation (and also flavour) when you serve.
