2 onions, finely diced

2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped

2 carrots, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

Wskazówki

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) (160°C/325°F fan-forced).

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy-based, ovenproof frying pan over medium–high heat.

Sprinkle the lamb shanks with salt, then sear on all sides for 3–5 minutes. Set aside.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same pan (if your pan is very sticky, see note 2).

Add the onion, garlic, carrot and celery and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in the tomato paste.

Return the lamb shanks to the pan, along with the red wine. Cook for 5 minutes until the red wine has reduced by half, scraping up any caramelised bits on the bottom of the pan.

Add the chicken stock and thyme to the pan, place the lid on (or cover tightly with two layers of foil) and bake for 2½ hours. The meat should fall off the bone easily. If not, continue cooking in 20-minute intervals until it is tender. Remove the thyme sprigs before serving.

Serve with mashed potatoes and steamed peas.
