Lamb shank Potjie Recipe – Method

Pack one layer of briquettes onto the coal grid inside your PotjieKing™ and place a couple fire lighters in the bottom section and get that going. Once the briquettes have stopped smoking, place your Potjie pot onto the PotjieKing™ to heat up.

Season the shanks lightly with salt and pepper and brown a few at a time in a heated pot until browned all over.
Remove the shanks and sauté the onion and garlic in a little olive oil until soft.
Add the vinegar and stir through.
Now you can add all the spices and stir-fry lightly.
Add the tomatoes and mix through.
Return the shanks to the pot, lower the heat, add the stock and simmer until the shanks are getting nice and tender. Approximately 2 – 3 hours.
Add the carrots and baby potatoes.
Simmer until the potatoes are almost soft and add the rest of the vegetables and heat until they’re just done but still firm, if thats how you like it.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and another sprinkle of balsamic vinegar if you like.
Serve with brown rice or mashed potato
