This Lamb shank
is tenderised in a marinade of Greek yoghurt and spices, then
simmered with fresh tomatoes, wine and fresh oregano. It makes an
unusual change from the more obvious mediterranean casseroles from
France.
* Spoon
3 tbsp of TOTAL Greek Yoghurt into a bowl and stir in the lemon
zest, garlic, 1 tbsp oil, seasoning and cumin. Toss in the lamb
shanks and stir well. Set aside for at least 1 hour to marinate.
* Heat
1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan then fry the meat in batches until
browned. Lift from the pan, add the remaining oil then fry the onion
until tender.
* Pour
in the wine and stir well to release any sediment from the base of
the pan and stir in all the remaining ingredients, except for the
olives and the artichokes.
* Cover
the pan and leave to simmer for 2 hour until the meat is tender then
stir in the olives and artichokes and cook for 10 minutes more.
* Stir
the garlic into the remaining yoghurt and chill.
Serve the lamb
topped with a spoonful of the garlicky yoghurt and dust with paprika.
Chef's
tip
Serve with a
side salad and a rice pilaff made by simmering rice in stock with
finely chopped onion, fresh parsley and toasted flaked almonds.
