Ingredients

  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 4 lamb shanks, tipped
  • pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbs plain flour
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 turnips, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 sticks celery, sliced
  • 150 g mushroom, sliced
  • 400 g can no-added-salt diced tomatoes
  • 1 2/3 cups water
  • a few fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, marjoram, oregano) or 1/2 tsp dried Italian herbs

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C.
  2. Heat oil in a frypan. Toss lamb with flour and pepper in a plastic bag. Remove lamb, pan-fry until brown on all sides and place in a large casserole dish.
  3. Add all vegetables except tomatoes to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, turning constantly until they begin to colour slightly.
  4. Tip in remaining seasoned flour from the plastic bag. Add tomatoes and water and stir into vegetables. Add herbs. Bring to the boil and pour over lamb.
  5. Cover closely with a lid and bake in oven for 2–2 ½ hours until meat is falling off the bones.

    I made this as a meal for one with 125g diced lamb leg. Adjust the water to 1/2 a cup, the flour to 1 tbs and quarter all the other ingredients. 45-50 minutes in a 160 oven. Brilliant.
