It's fall, that means crisp mornings, strong winds and the occasional shower. Time for stew!
In our country, lamb is a favorite, especially lamb shank. Here is one of the many ways to prepare it:
Preparation
Brown the lamb shanks (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 fry the 6 finely chopped onions until brown.
Add chopped garlic and rosemary.
​
Sprinkle the two tablespoons of flour over the onion mixture and fry briefly.
Add the bottle of Trappist beer, ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and stock.
Stir well.
Season with tabasco, salt and pepper.
Turn the heat down and let the shanks stew for about 3 hours until the meat is almost falling off the bone.
If the shanks are not completely covered in liquid, turn them halfway through.
Make the celeriac/potato puree about half an hour before the meat is ready.
​
Spoon the stew onto a nice platter 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.
