  • 2 bunches spring onions, trimmed, peeled
  • 625ml (2 1/2 cups) vegetable liquid stock
  • 60g (1/3 cup, lightly packed) brown sugar
  • 5 cardamom pods, crushed
  • 3 fresh bay leaves
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1/3-262.50 gm pineapple juice, to taste

  • 2 tsp coriander seeds
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds

Instructions:
  • To make the curry paste, toast coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and cloves in a small frying pan until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small food processor, add peanuts, and pulse to a coarse powder. Blend in the food processor until smooth.
  • In a large flameproof casserole dish, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Sear the shanks in 2 batches until golden, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add the rest of the oil to the dish and cook onions until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer onions to a bowl using a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan forced. Spread curry paste in a dish over low heat for 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in stock, sugar, cardamom, bay leaves, and cinnamon. Increase heat, add shanks back in, bring to a boil. Cover and bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes until meat is tender and falling off the bone.
