*Braised lamb shanks with silverbeet and lentils

from Yummy, Easy, Quick: 127 Dinners That Take 30 Minutes or Less to Prepare by Matt Presto

Delicious and easy!


I just used one pot with a lid rather than frying pan, baking dish and alfoil. Worked fine

  • Lamb shanks
  • leeks
  • garlic
  • Mutti canned organic tomatoes
  • chicken stock, and white wine (riesling)
  • fresh bay leaves and rosemary
  • canned organic lentils
  • I substituted kale for the silverbeet (not in stock)
  • lemon juice

The recipe was for 4 (using 6 lamb skanks). I only used two lamb shanks and kept the rest of the quantities the same. It could have done with more sauce.

The suggestion of adding harissa to the leek mixture, I will try next time, but this is up there with the best of the lamb shank recipes I have cooked or eaten.
