Elevate succulent lamb shanks with vibrant gremolata for added flavor and texture.
Ingredients:
  • 9.20 gm olive oil
  • 6 lamb shanks, visible fat removed
  • 2 large red onions, cut into 1cm-thick slices
  • 1 x 810g can salt-reduced chopped tomatoes in juice
  • 250ml (1 cup) beef stock
  • 250ml (1 cup) cold water
  • 62.50 ml chopped fresh continental parsley stems
  • 20.00 ml fresh rosemary leaves
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 4 large garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 fresh red chillies, finely chopped
  • 5.00 gm ground mild paprika
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 305g (1 1/2 cups) risoni pasta
  • 40.00 ml chopped fresh continental parsley leaves
  • 2 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp finely grated lemon rind
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C, then sizzle lamb in a hot oiled casserole until beautifully browned, around 15 minutes.
  • Arrange onion on top of the lamb. In a bowl, mix together undrained tomatoes, stock, water, parsley stems, rosemary, thyme, garlic, chili, and paprika. Season with pepper and pour this mixture over the lamb. Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 2 1/2 hours or until the lamb is tender and easily separates from the bones.
  • Cook the risoni in a saucepan of boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain just before serving.
  • Prepare the gremolata by mixing together parsley, rosemary, garlic, and lemon zest in a bowl until well combined.
  • Plate the risoni, place a shank on top of each plate, drizzle generously with sauce, sprinkle with gremolata, and serve alongside a bowl of steamed vegetables, if desired.
