This recipe came from one of the first cookbooks I ever bought, "Casserole Cookbook". The price is still on the cover-$1.25- so you can only imagine how many years I have been cooking and enjoying these shanks.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Wipe the lamb shanks with a damp cloth.
  2. 2
    Remove the rind from the bacon and chop.
  3. 3
    Heat the butter in a flameproof casserole, add the onion and bacon and saute until golden brown, remove from the casserole. Roll the lamb shanks in flour and brown evenly all over in remaining fat in casserole. Return the onion and bacon to the casserole, add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Cover the casserole and cook in a moderate to slow oven for about 2 hours or until the shanks are tender. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes and a green vegetable.

I have never cooked these before, so thought I might give them a try. They turned out really well DS and DH really enjoyed these for a change. I served these with mashed potatoes and vegetables. DH said these had a great flavour and DS loved the gravy. Easier than I thought to make, so will be trying these again. Thanks Jan

    These are wonderful!! The sauce is amazing and the smell as the shanks were cooking was really yummy. I served ours over courgette mash with spinach and it was the best dinner. The shanks absolutely fell apart and out of the 4 I cooked, I only managed to save one for the photograph as the meat fell off the bone on the others as I was lifting them out of the pan. Another great shank recipe Jan

    Jan it really surprised me that this recipe hasn't been reviewed before, this is a really good recipe and I know that I will make it alot. The bacon and worcestershire sauce really gave this an excellent flavour. I used malt vinegar and chicken stock and as my shanks were larger than normal I cooked it for about 2 1/2 hours on 160C (320F) until the meat was falling off the bones. I served with mashed potatoe and green beans and even my 2 year old asked for more. Thanks for a great recipe.

    Fantastic flavours, we loved this!! It was so easy to make, put it in the oven & forget about it. The only change I made was after it was cooked, I added a little bit of cornflour & water to the liquid to thicken it up. As per your suggestion I served it with mashed potatoes & green beans, the leftovers are for lunch - Yum. Thanks JanS, for a great recipe.
