How to Make Lamb Shank Dinner

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons curry powder and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  2. Add 4 lamb shanks and brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove lamb shanks from the pan and set aside.
  3. Add 1 large chopped onion to the pan and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Return the lamb shanks to the pan. Pour in 4 cups of lamb stock, add 2 large carrots (chopped), and 2 large potatoes (chopped).
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the lamb shanks are very tender. If using a slow cooker, transfer everything to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup fruit chutney and 1 cup frozen peas. Heat through gently.
  7. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
