• Prep Time: 20 minutes  Cook Time: 4 hours

• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 2 kg SPAR Lamb Shanks
• 45 ml SPAR olive oil
• 1 - 2 heads garlic, halved across
• 200 g SPAR Freshline baby onions
• A few sprigs of fresh rosemary
• 1 SPAR Beef Stock cube
• 250 ml hot water
• 250 ml dry red wine
• 125 ml soft Brown Sugar
• Salt and black pepper

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 120 ̊ C.
2. Trim any excess fat from lamb, season and brush with oil.
3. Place garlic, onions and rosemary in a casserole dish, just large enough to take the lamb. A cast iron casserole dish is ideal.
4. Add the lamb and pour over the stock, sugar and wine. Cover with a tight fitting lid or foil. Bake for approximately 3- 4 hours or until meltingly tender.
5. Remove lamb and keep warm while reducing cooking liquids on top of the stove to a saucy consistency. Carve and serve with SPAR Freshline Mediterranean Roast Vegetables or a simple side salad.
