Ingredients:

For the braised lamb shanks:

· 8 small lamb shanks (about 475g each)
· 2 tbsp sunflower oil
· 2 onions, finely chopped
· 2 celery sticks, finely chopped
· 2 carrots, finely chopped
· 3 garlic cloves, crushed
· 375 ml red wine
· 1 tbsp tomato purée
· 2 tbsp roughly chopped fresh rosemary
· 2 bay leaves
· 750 ml chicken stock

For the colcannon mash:

· 600 g floury potatoes, peeled and cubed
· 600 g Jerusalem artichoke, peeled and chopped
· 75 g butter
· 50 ml milk
· sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method:

For the lamb shanks, season and oil them all over and sear them in a Retigo combi oven set on hot air mode 220°C for 2 minutes using enamelled GN container 100 mm. Take the lamb shanks out of the GN container.
Add the oil, chopped onions, celery and carrots to the GN container. Reduce the temperature to 190°C and cook for 6 minutes, adding the garlic for the last minute.
Add the wine and cook it down for a minute. Now add the tomato purée, then the rosemary and bay leaf. Season well with salt and pepper.
Return the lamb shanks to the GN container, pour over the stock and cover with a lid. Set the combi oven to combination mode 130°C, 70% humidity, fan speed 60%, for 4 hours.
Prepare the mash. Steam the potatoes and Jerusalem artichoke in a stainless steel GN container using the steam mode 99°C for 20 minutes. Warm the milk and butter in a small pan until just boiling then remove from the heat.
Transfer the cooked potatoes and Jerusalem artichokes into a bowl and add the milk and butter mixture and mash until smooth. Season it. When the lamb shanks are cooked remove them from the sauce, pass the sauce through a sieve and place them in a pot and reduce it to a thick consistency.

Bon Appetit!
