We often braai on Sundays and if we don't do a traditional braai,
we will generally do a roast on the weber...
Yesterday was no exception,
other than the fact that
I felt like doing something a little bit different...

And so it was...

LAMB SHANK ON THE WEBER

......

Lamb shank has GOT to be
one of the tastiest dishes on the planet,
and is so utterly simple too...

Ok, so - first things first...
LIGHT THE WEBER!
YAY!

While the fire was busy getting itself ready,
I rubbed the shank in a little olive oil, salt and pepper
and then placed it in the roasting dish
and then on the weber to braise it...

Once finished with the braising,
I removed the roasting pan from the coals
and headed back into the kitchen to add the rest of the goodies,
which consisted of the following:

6 small onions
2 carrots roughly chopped
2 celery sticks roughly chopped
750ml chicken stock (I find the beef too rich)
1 can of diced tomatoes
3 - 4 sprigs of fresh lemon thyme
3 - 4 sprigs of fresh rosemary
one teaspoon of sugar
1/2 cup of red wine

Pretty much throw them all into the roasting pan
and bobs your uncle!

Leave the roasting pan uncovered,
but put the weber lid back on
and cook for 3.5hrs

and then... Bon Appétit
I know this should traditionally be served with mashed potato,
but I no longer eat potatoes... so rice it was :)

The meat was literally fall off the bone tender
as any good shank should be!

And needless to say,
the tummies were all very happy after!

If you try it -
let me know how it turns out! :)

......

Until next time...

Much Love from Cape Town, South Africa xxx
