Lamb Shank Pie Recipe Ingredients 4-6 Lamb shanks (chopped in half) 1 large carrot 1 parsnip 2 tomatoes 6 oz. veal/chicken stock 2 tablespoons tomato paste juice and grated rind of 1 lemon pinch of sugar 2 tablespoons parsley 2 tablespoons chopped garlic 1 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon vegetable oil seasoned flour(for dusting) 1 onion 1 stick of celery 1 cup red wine 2 tablespoons basil 2 cups mashed potatoes Method Dust the shanks in flour and brown them in butter and oil in a heavy skillet or fry pan. Put the cooked shanks in a saucepan, cover with water, wine, and tomato paste and cook ever so gently for about 90 min or until meat starts to soften (you may have to add a little more water or wine.) In the meantime, saute the vegetables (roughly chopped) with the garlic in the same frying pan; you may have to add a little more oil. After a couple of minutes add the tomatoes (roughly chopped), lemon juice and rind. Cook gently for another few minutes. Transfer partly cooked lamb shanks into a casserole dish. Skim off any fat formed during cooking. Add the cooked vegetables, mix lightly, add the fresh herbs, spoon mashed potatoes on top and finish cooking in a pre heated 190 degree oven for about 30 minutes. Serve piping hot with crusty bread.
