"The Natural Flavour
to Savour"

BRAISED
WELSH LAMB
SHANKS
IN RED WINE

Heat the oil in a heavy based pan, add the shallots and mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes, until they are starting to turn golden. Add the bacon and garlic and fry for a further 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Toss the Welsh lamb shanks in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess. Put the Welsh lamb shanks in the pan and cook over a medium heat, turning occasionally, until browned all over. Return the shallots, mushrooms and bacon to the pan and pour in the wine and stock. Mix well, season and add 1 tbsp of the thyme leaves.

Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 45 minutes. Uncover the pan and cook for a further 10 minutes. Stir in the rest of the thyme leaves and serve with creamy mashed potatoes.
