Categories     Mains

Number Of Ingredients 11

1.5kg/ 3 lb lamb shanks ((5 small, 4 medium, 2 - 3 large) (Note 1))
114g/ 4oz Maesri Massaman curry paste (1 can) (, or other brand (Note 2))
400ml/ 14oz coconut milk (, full fat (Ayam brand is best, Note 3))
2 cups chicken stock/broth (, low sodium (Note 4))
1 onion (, halved then sliced 1cm / 1/3" thick (brown, white, yellow))
400g/ 14oz small potatoes ((2.5cm/1" wide, halve if bigger))
1 star anise
1 cinnamon stick
Red chilli (, finely sliced (small = spicy, large = less spicy))
Coriander/cilantro
Steamed jasmine rice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan).
  • Mix curry paste, coconut milk and stock in a 22 x 33cm / 9 x 13" baking dish, preferably glass or ceramic (Note 5). Add onion, potato, star anise, cinnamon and lamb.
  • Turn shanks to coat in sauce, then cover with foil.
  • Bake in oven for 2 hours. Remove foil, bake for a further 1 hour (small shanks) or 1.5 hrs (medium to large shanks), turning lamb twice to brown evenly, until meat is so tender it can easily be teased apart with 2 forks.
  • Remove lamb onto plate. Carefully skim off excess fat off the surface (tilt dish, it's easier) - I get about 1/3 cup. Mix sauce in baking dish - it should be reduced down to a syrupy thickness (Note 6).
  • Serve lamb with sauce over jasmine rice, garnished with chilli and coriander. For a larger banquet, put the curry out on a platter to share!

LAMB SHANK MADRAS



Lamb shank madras image

While it takes time, this hearty one-pot lamb curry is easy and you can make it two days in advance for even better flavour. Serve with naan bread and rice

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 4h40m

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 tbsp natural yogurt
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp turmeric
4 lamb shanks
2 tbsp sunflower oil
4 onions , sliced
4 tbsp madras curry powder
8 garlic cloves, grated or crushed
thumb-sized piece ginger, grated
220g tin chopped tomatoes
3 whole dried red chillies
5 curry leaves
4 cardamom pods, split
3 tbsp lime pickle
300ml chicken stock
chopped mint leaves, naan bread and rice, to serve

Steps:

  • Tip the yogurt, cumin, turmeric, 1 tsp sea salt and the lamb shanks into a large mixing bowl, then mix to coat the lamb. Cover and pop in the fridge for a couple of hrs, or overnight if you have time.
  • Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 4. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish over a medium heat, add the shanks and brown all over for 10 mins, then remove from the dish. Scatter the onions into the dish and fry for 10 mins until golden brown. Stir in the curry powder, garlic and ginger and cook for 3 mins until aromatic. Add the lamb shanks back to the dish along with the tomatoes, chillies, curry leaves, cardamom pods and lime pickle. Give everything a good stir and pour over the stock. Bring up to a simmer, cover, then transfer to the oven and cook for 3 hrs.
  • Remove the lid and cook for 1 hr more - this will help reduce some of the liquid and char any exposed meat. When the lamb is very tender, leave to rest for 30 mins or leave to cool completely and reheat the next day for the best flavour. Can be made up to two days in advance. Scatter with chopped mint and serve with naan bread and rice on the side.

INDIAN LAMB CURRY WITH BASMATI RICE



Indian Lamb Curry With Basmati Rice image

This wonderfully spiced dish is halfway completed before you start cooking. I've slowly begun to realize that my most successful lamb dishes were made from what was left over from a meal of lamb shanks. When braising season began, I cooked two sizable lamb shanks and, of course, enjoyed them. But I really got into it over the following couple of nights, when I wound up using them to create marvelous meals.
