The classic way to cook this type of meat is long and slow, but we don't always have the time. This Spiced lamb shanks in the pressure cooker recipe is a way to achieve a great flavour in a far shorter time.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 lamb shanks
- 2 onions, chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp Ras el hanout
- 1 star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 large carrot
- 1 Romano red pepper
- 2 tins of chopped tomatoes
- 1 cup broad beans
- To serve: Chopped parsley
Instructions
- Place the pressure cooker over a medium to hot flame and add the oil.
- Put in one of the shanks and brown all over in the oil, then do the same with the other and put both aside.
- Stir in the onions and garlic then, when they're softened, add the other ingredients except the broad beans.
- Turn up the heat, put on the lid and bring up to pressure. Cook for 30 minutes then allow to depressurise by itself. Stir in broad beans and cook for a couple of minutes.
