What do you do when you get handed free Yukon potatoes and lamb shoulder shank? You buy a bottle of red wine and spend three hours braising.
I used a recipe from Allrecipes and would not recommend it. It lacked the depth and color this should have had. Still good but definitely would have failed in a cooking school.
Cost per person: $2, mostly cheap wine and onion, a little for homemade beef stock I canned a while back. Can you order it anywhere? Yes Cost per person if you paid for everything: $17
You built a mashed potato grave.
I have those same plates. I hate them!
I like square plates because you get more surface area for less storage space. But I usually use smaller plates because most meals aren’t this big.
My issue is I can’t microwave well with them 🤣
I use smaller plates for that.
I think you have a chunk error in your mashed potatoes
Helps me find caves
Not to be a jerk, but the presentation, uh, is lacking.
More than lacking.
At least you’re honest with yourself.
GRAVY TRENCH
Grave-y
I bet that cosmic horror was delicious
Is that a jug of 漢水 in the background? I can’t read the character above water well enough.
蒸餾白醋 You are mistaking the Walmart starburst for Chinese. Though don’t lack did Asian labels here.
It I was to make a plate of this, I’d be using the lamb and it’s sauce as gravy for the potatoes. 🤤
Where are you getting free lamb shanks?
Local food bank type thing.
My food bank just gave me Big Daddy’s Beef Stick
Now with 51 percent beef!
I do not recommend Big Daddy’s Meat Products. Made for institutions.
Next time try browning the shanks really well first and maybe add some tomato paste that you cook down for a few minutes before deglazing with the wine - it’ll give you that deep color and umami your missing.
They were browned very nicely first. The appearance just didn’t survive the braise. there was definitely a lack of tomato paste.
Potatoes look very good. The onion gravy doesn’t look too bad. Lamb is tough to get it just right. Looks like a pretty good supper to me. Glad you shared
When ‘having a lamb shank’ isn’t rhyming slang for once.
