Prep-work

No preparations.

Preparation

Brown the lamb shanks (seasoning them with salt and pepper beforehand) in the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Turn them every few minutes.

Remove them from the pan and brown the 6 finely chopped onions.

Add the chopped garlic and rosemary.

Sprinkle the two tablespoons of flour over the onion mixture and fry briefly.

Add the bottle of Trappist beer, the ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and the stock.

Stir well.

Season with Tabasco, salt and pepper.

Reduce the heat to low and let the shanks simmer for about 3 hours until the meat almost falls off the bone.

If the shanks are not completely covered in liquid, turn them halfway through.

About half an hour before the meat is ready, make the celeriac/potato puree.

Spoon the mashed potatoes onto a nice serving dish and place the lamb shanks on top.

Spoon some sauce over the meat and pour the rest into a (sauce) bowl.

Sprinkle some picked mint leaves, coriander and spring onion over the shanks.
