4 lamb shanks
\nsea salt and freshly ground black pepper
\n1 teaspoon coriander seeds
\n1 small dried red chilli or 2 teaspoons chopped fresh chilli
\n1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
\n1 teaspoon dried marjoram or oregano
\n1 tablespoon flour
\n1 tablespoon olive oil

\n1 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
\n170ml \/ 6fl oz dry white wine
\n6 anchovy fillets
\n2 x 400gr\/14oz tins of plum tomatoes
\n1 handful of fresh basil, marjoram or flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped<\/p>\n
Season the lamb with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.\u00a0 Smash up the coriander seeds and dried chilli and mix with the chopped rosemary and dried marjoram.\u00a0 Roll the lamb in this mixture, pressing it in well.\u00a0 Dust the lamb with the flour.<\/p>\n
Heat a thick-bottomed casserole pan, add the oil, brown the meat on all sides and then remove from the pan.\u00a0 Add the garlic, carrot, celery, onions and a pinch of salt and sweat them until softened.\u00a0 Add the balsamic vinegar and allow it to reduce to a syrup.\u00a0 Pour in the white wine and allow to simmer for 2 minutes.\u00a0 Add the anchovies (these really seem to intensify the lamb flavour) and then add the tinned tomatoes, kept whole.\u00a0 Shake the pan and return the lamb to it.\u00a0 Bring to the boil, put on the lid and simmer in the oven at 180C\/350F\/gas5 for 1 1\/2 hours, then remove the lid and cook for a further 1\/2 hour.\u00a0 Skim off any fat and taste for seasoning.\u00a0 Finally, stir in a handful of roughly chopped fresh basil, marjoram or flat-leaf parsley.<\/p>\n
Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
