I had no idea what to do with these lamb shanks i got so i just decided to try something with the ingredients i had on hand and it turned out great. It was also easy to make afterall.
-In a skillet heat the vegetable oil
-Season flour with a bit of the ground black pepper and salt. Also season lamb shanks with ground black pepper and salt. Do all this whilst oil is heating.
-dredge the seasoned lamb shanks in the seasoned flour and fry in oil turning regularly till all sides are brown.
-transfer lamb shanks into a casserol dish or crock pot and put aside
-brown a teaspoon of flour in the same oil used in browning the shanks
-sautee onions in oil till translucent, add garlic, ginger, chopped chillies, parsely flakes, bay leaves and cajun seasoning. Stir till well mixed and allow to fry for about 2 mins.
-add tomatoes to the mix and simmer for about another 2 mins.
-add carrots, green beans and oyster mushrooms
-season mixture with salt and remaining black pepper to taste
-allow to simmer for another 2 mins
-transfer sauce onto browned lamb shanks in casserol dish/crock pot and cover with lid or aluminium foil.
-cook in oven that has been preheated to 400 degrees for about 11/2 hours. turn meat on interval to cook all sides.
-cook till meat is all tender and ready to fall off bone
Serve with rice, pasta, couscous, potatoes, etc.
Remember, add pepper and salt to your taste but i think the more spices the better. You may also want to add a bit more flour for a thicker sauce. Temperature of oven may also be reduced to 350 when nearing the end of cooking to preven the sauce from burning.
