Lamb, ShankS, Stew, J. Appledog

Fishlessman, here's our favorite lamb stew recipe. I pick up lamb shanks whenever I see them on sale.


INGREDIENTS:
6 Tbs Peanut or vegetable oil
8 lamb shanks
2 onions
4 cloves of garlic
Sprinkling of salt
1 Tbs turmeric
1 tsp ground ginger
1 dried red chili pepper, crumbled, or 1/4 tsp dried red-pepper flakes
2 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Freshly grated nutmeg
Black pepper
3 Tbs Honey
1 Tbs Soy sauce
3 Tbs Marsala wine
6 Tbs Red lentils




Procedure:
1 Put 3 Tbsp of the oil into a very large, wide, heavy-bottomed pan and warm over medium heat. Brown the lamb shanks--in batches--in the pan and then remove to a roasting pan or whatever else you've got at hand to sit them in.
2 Peel the onions and garlic and process in a food processor or chop them finely by hand. Add the remaining oil to the pan and fry the onion-garlic mush until soft, sprinkling salt over to stop it from sticking.
3 Stir in the turmeric, ground ginger, chili, cinnamon and nutmeg and season with some freshly ground pepper. Stir again, adding the honey, soy sauce and Marsala. Put the shanks back in the pan, add cold water almost to cover, bring to the boil and then put a lid on the pan, lower the heat and simmer very gently for 1-1 1/2 hours, or until the meat is tender. Add the red lentils and cook for about 20 minutes longer without the lid, until the lentils have softened into the sauce, and the juices have reduced and thickened slightly. Check for seasoning.
4 Toast the nuts by heating them for a few minutes in a dry frying pan and sprinkle onto the lamb as you serve it. This aromatic, sauce-rich stew can be served with plain rice or a bowl of butter-mashed potatoes, half potatoes and half parsnips, well-seasoned and spiced with mace.
5 To serve: Tbsp of chopped pistachios, chopped blanched almonds or a mixture of both.

Rascal,
Here's the one I was planning to cook last night, except The Fresh Market has been unable to get shanks for over two weeks. :(

So I grilled my first lamb loin chops (post done last night).

All recipes.com ( they also have one that is braised in white wine).

You can't really go wrong if you slow cook them. These were good.
