Recipe ingredients

  • 4 lamb shanks
  • 2 cups (500 mL) finely diced carrot, onion, leek, garlic (mirepoix)
  • Marinade
  • 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) honey*
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) Dijon mustard*
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) Irresistible orange juice*
  • 1 orange, diced
  • 1 bunch of thyme, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 tsp. (5 mL) Irresistible coarse black pepper*
  • 5 Irresistible bay leaves*
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) coarsely chopped fresh ginger
  • Sufficient quantity, olive oil*
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Trim and season lamb shanks.

In a casserole, lay lamb shanks on top of the mirepoix, add water to cover and simmer for 2½ hours. Remove and reserve shanks.

In a bowl, combine marinade ingredients.

Put hot shanks in marinade, turning to coat evenly, and marinate for 2 hours.

Preheat barbecue to high.

Drain shanks and lay them on the hot grill.

Reduce heat to medium, and grill shanks 5 - 6 minutes per side.

Suggestion

Trimming lamb shanks of as much fat as possible enhances the flavour!
