List of Ingredients
4x 200g Welsh lamb shanks
4 rashers of bacon, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves, crushed
6 shallots, halved
175g button mushrooms, sliced
2 tbsp seasoned flour
300ml red wine
150ml lamb stock
2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Recipe
Heat the oil in a heavy based pan, add the shallots and mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes, until they are starting to turn golden. Add the bacon and garlic and fry for a further 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Toss the Welsh lamb shanks in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess. Put the Welsh lamb shanks in the pan and cook over a medium heat, turning occasionally, until browned all over. Return the shallots, mushrooms and bacon to the pan and pour in the wine and stock. Mix well, season and add 1 tbsp of the thyme leaves.
Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 45 minutes. Uncover the pan and cook for a further 10 minutes. Stir in the rest of the thyme leaves and serve with creamy mashed potatoes.
