Lamb shanks braised
Ingredients:

6 lamb shanks
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 large carrots, cut into 1/4 inch
rounds
2 onions, chopped
10 cloves garlic, minced
1 (750 milliliter) bottle red wine
1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled
tomatoes with juice
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed chicken
broth
1 (10.5 ounce) can beef broth
5 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme

Serve: 1
Methods:
Season lamb shanks with salt and pepper.

 Heat oil in a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook
shanks until brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer shanks to a plate; set aside.

 Add carrots, onions, and garlic to the pot and sauté over medium heat until golden brown, about
10 minutes. Stir in wine, tomatoes, chicken broth, beef broth, rosemary, and thyme.

 Return shanks to the pot, pressing down to submerge. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to
medium-low. Cover and simmer until meat is tender, about 2 hours.

 Remove the lid and simmer to allow flavors to concentrate, about 20 minutes. Transfer shanks to
a platter; cover with foil to keep warm. Continue boiling sauce until thickened, about 15 minutes.
Spoon sauce over shanks before serving.
Beef goulash
Serves: 6
INGREDIENTS
1kg good braising steak, preferably chuck steak
1 tbsp. sunflower oil
3 medium onions, cut into 12 wedges
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tsp hot smoked paprika
1 tbsp. paprika
1 beef stock cube (Oxo works well here)
600ml cold water
400g can of chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp. tomato purée
2 bay leaves
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1 orange pepper
Flaked sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Methods:
 Preheat the oven to 170°C/Fan 150°C/Gas 3½. Trim any hard fat off the beef and cut the meat into
rough 4cm chunks. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

 Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish. Add the steak and fry over a high heat until nicely
browned all over, turning regularly. Tip the onions into the pan and cook with the beef for 5 minutes
until softened. Add the crushed garlic and cook for a further minute, stirring regularly.

 Sprinkle both paprika over the meat and crumble the beef stock cube on top. Add the water,
tomatoes, tomato purée and bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper, stir well and bring to a simmer.
Cover with a tightly fitting lid and transfer the dish to the oven. Cook for 1½ hours.

 While the beef is cooking, remove the core and seeds from each pepper and chuck them away. Cut
each pepper into chunks of about 3cm. When the beef has cooked for 1½ hours, carefully remove the
dish from the oven. Stir in the peppers, put the lid back on and put the goulash back in the oven for a
further hour or until the beef is meltingly tender.
 Serve with small portions of rice (see pages 178–179) and spoonful’s of soured cream if you like,
but don’t be too generous – soured cream contains less fat than double cream but still has 30 calories
per tablespoon.
