Lamb Shanks and Sweet Potato

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons ghee/clarified butter

4 lamb shanks

3 sweet potatoes

4 carrots, peeled and large diced

2 brown onions (cut into wedges)

1 red onion (diced)

5 garlic cloves, crushed and diced

1 cup white wine (I use Shaw and Smith Sav Blanc)

2 springs of rosemary

4 ripe tomatoes (diced)

1/2 cup chopped Italian flat parsley

8 organic green olives (pitted)

1/2 cup roasted eggplant

1/2 cup lemon juice

Salt and Pepper

2 cups lamb stock

 

METHOD

Preheat oven (fan forced) at 150 degrees celsius.

In a large stove top to oven roaster, place ghee/clarified butter and heat on the stove top.  On a meat chopping board, salt and pepper lamb shanks and rub into the meat. 

Place lamb shanks in the hot ghee and brown all sides.  Add onion and garlic cooking until onion is translucent.  Then add sweet potato, carrot, tomato and rosemary cooking for 5 minutes.  Place olives and lemon in a food processor and blend until chopped finely. 

Add olive mix  and diced roasted eggplant and stir through for 2 minutes.  Pour in white wine and reduce down.  Finally, stir through lamb stock, salt and pepper to taste. 

Place a well fitting lid on the roaster and cook in the oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, until meat is easy to pull off the bone.  Serve with yOni's Kumera Smash.
