Default • Smoked & Braised Lamb Shank... (pr0n heavy)

Riiight, So I've been wanting to do this for a while! Finally got the chance! It was beyond good! And it all started yesterday... Kinda like this...

First we started out with a pretty nice New Zealand lamb shank:


Took the usual suspects and beat em up in a mortar & pestle. Rosemary, garlic, scotchie, kosher salt & a bit of my beef rub.




Rubbed the meat & left it in the fridge overnight:


Plopped it on the smoker tonight with almond wood for smoke:






Got out some herbs & veggies:


Cut those farkers up:


Added a little red wine, salt, pepper & half beef stock/half chicken stock:


Placed lamb on veggies when IT temp hit 160˚, covered tightly with foil and placed over the corner of the fire for another 45 mins:




Added a TB of Gravy mix to thicken it up a bit... (Don't knock it til 2 try it) and placed back over the fire for another 10 mins to thicken up a bit:


...and this is what I ended up with:






Plated:


Devoured!




I think I'm full for the next 2 days Guys!!! But OH MY it was good! Definitely writing this one down in the book!!

Thanks for looking!!!

Cheers.

So thats where al the good N.Z lamb shanks go. They used to be as cheap as chips but now that they have been shared with the world we have to fight for them with everyone.

Phrasty dude... how much a pound/kg did you pay for it?

Muzza.

Man.. just had another drool session.. that is a rear leg shank as well.. No wonder it is so darned meaty.. They are even harder to find, in fact they is rare as unicorns wee over here.
And yes that gravy mix sure is tops for a sauce, we got Bisto instant gravy over here but it is made locally and is not as nice as the British stuff.
