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
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.
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
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.
It I was to make a plate of this, I’d be using the lamb and it’s sauce as gravy for the potatoes. 🤤
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.
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.
