I did shanks in a cooking comp earlier this year, a similar recipe to Muzz's, submitted a plate to the judging panel and then tried one myself. Tough as old boots, you'll notice I didn't say lambs shanks, these were old mutton and no amount of cooking would've tenderised them. Stringy and not good, pays to test taste as you go.

Aart,
Two more places set at the table.
PD,
You will notice that supermarket Lamb shanks rarely carry the DPI lamb brand..so you could be eating any thing from six months old to six years old. Another supermarket grey area.

Although not a always a perfect solution the best way is to use your local butcher, when he gets to know you he will give you the good gear and most privately owned Butchers will not sell anything that gives them bad vibes.

Don't believe me, then buy some Rump from a supermarket & then buy a piece from a butcher you know,BBQ them at the same time, then have a go at both. My local guarantees his meat and gives me a replacement if it doesn't please.

When I go away he Cryovacs my choices for me, better again.

They look great and are hard to beat on flavour.

I do much the same but throw in any left over red wine and the MOTH likes mushrooms which have to be left large or they disappear.

Once I brown the shanks, I take them out and slightly brown the veggies as well.

If in a hurry I cook for about 1 1/2 hours in the pressure cooker.

Mate doin' it right now but on the stove...Didn't have enough time as Mrs. was late back with lamb.

Smells bloody great, tastes bloody great and in about 3/4 hr we will tuck into it with a bitta mash and some greens..

Yummo cannot wait OR to do in the cast Iron next time...

Thanx 4 putting this one up...by the way I made a small change and added about 50ml of white vinegar to give it a bit of a sweet and sour taste.. Works well with this recipe which by the way is on the back of the packet...

Grrr!!! [smiley=chef.gif]

I tried Muzzes shanks a while ago and they were great, whinging missus and kids werent so keen on the diced tomatoes so I substituted with chicken stock and OH MY GOD!
Great recipe Muzz.
I thought the dogs were going to bite me cause the bones were that clean with the meat nearly falling off there wasnt much chewing left for them.

Added some mushrooms and had mashed tatie with mine. [smiley=drool5.gif]
And you cant quite see it but a low carb beer as well for the diabetic side of things. (Pure Blonde, still got a good kick)
