ingredients
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 large lamb shanks, about 500g each (If your shanks are small, allow more because there is plenty of marinade and sauce.)
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 2 large onions, chopped
- 225 g plums, cut in half
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 1 cup white wine
- 2 cups hot chicken stock
- salt and pepper
directions
- Mix the paprika, cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Rub the spice mix into the lamb shanks creating a spice covering that coats the lamb completely. Set aside 10 minutes.
- Heat the oil over medium heat in a large lidded saucepan. Add the onions and begin to brown them stirring occasionally. Add the plums that you have pitted along with the sugar and cook for a few minutes with the onions. Remove the onions and plums with a slotted spoon and add the seasoned lamb to the saucepan oven and brown the lamb well on all sides.
- Add the white wine and cook down by half. Add the hot stock and return the onions and plums to the pot. Adjust the seasoning, set at a simmer, cover and cook for 90-120 minutes or until the lamb is fork tender. Serve with saffron rice.
