Report
Delicious and tender these curried lamb shanks are slow-cooked in the oven in a rich massaman coconut curry sauce until the shanks are so tender that the meat just falls away from the bone.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 150c.
- Place a large oven-safe pot on the stove over low heat and lightly toast the peanuts, then remove and set aside.
- Add the olive oil to the pan, then brown the lamb shanks over medium-high heat. Once well browned, remove to a plate.
- Fry the onion over low heat until it starts to soften, then add curry paste, coconut milk, beef stock, star anise and stir well to combine.
- Add in shanks (plus any resting juices), along with potatoes and bring to a simmer.
- Cover with a lid and bake for 2 hours.
- At the 2 hour mark remove the lid, turn the shanks to coat in the sauce and bake uncovered for a further hour or until lamb is tender.
- Skim off excess oil, discard the star anise, scatter over the toasted peanuts and serve garnished with chilli and coriander (if using).
Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- 114g is the size of a single tin of curry paste - it equates to a little less than ⅓ cup of paste.
- Brown the lamb shanks well, this will give you the best flavour.
- I wrap my star anise up with some cheesecloth, this stops the small hard seeds in the star-shaped spice escaping. They are about the size of a large apple seed and have a strong aniseed flavour if you bite into them by mistake.
