Just like lasagne is better as leftovers, our Braised Lamb Shanks with Mash and Broccoli is better prepared early, ideally in the morning, to bring out the best of the goodness of the lamb. Perfect for dinner parties, the Shanks can be shared as they will easily fall apart having been slow cooked. Recipe inspired by Australian Lamb.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 The Meat Club lamb shanks (approx.1.4kg), excess fat trimmed
- 2 tbsp rice bran oil
- 3 stalks green onion, trimmed, cut into 3cm pieces

- Reduce heat to medium-high. Add remaining oil, onion, garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes or until onion has softened.
- Stir in the stock and bring to a simmer, then cover with a lid and place in the oven for 2–2½ hours or until lamb shanks a very tender and pull easily away from the bone.
