Lamb Shanks Stockpot

Directions

1. Place the lamb shanks in a large, heavy-based casserole dish. Add in the Knorr Chicken Stock Pot, 1.5 litres of water,  tomato paste, soy sauce and olive oil.
2. Slowly bring the lamb shanks to the boil on top of the stove, then simmer very slowly and gently uncovered for 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours. If you’d rather cook it in the oven, bring it to the boil on top of the stove then cover and  transfer to a preheated oven at 150°C, Gas Mark 2 and cook it in the oven for 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours.

3. After about 2 hours 30 mins (or half an hour before the lamb shanks have finished cooking), cook the vegetables. Place the celeriac or swede, onions, carrots and potatoes in a large saucepan. Add in the Knorr Vegetable Stock Pot and enough cold water to cover the vegetables, bring to the boil and cook at a rolling boil uncovered over a medium heat. Ten minutes later, add in the baby leeks and celery heart and cook until all the vegetables are tender; around 20-25 minutes in all. Add in the sage sprigs right at the end of the cooking time.
4. Before serving, carefully skim any fat off the surface of the Lamb Shanks Stockpot. Using a slotted spoon, remove the lamb shanks from the casserole dish and arrange them on a large serving platter. Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked vegetables from the pan and carefully arrange them around the lamb shanks, then topping with the sage sprigs. Spoon over a little of the broth and serve.
