Method

Lamb Shank Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil the Lamb Shanks

    In a large pot, add the lamb shanks and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 1 hour until tender.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large oven-safe pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sliced carrots, sautéing until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  3. 3

    Add the Tomatoes and Beans

    Stir in the canned tomatoes, white kidney beans, chicken broth, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Combine and Bake

    Once the lamb shanks are tender, remove them from the boiling water and place them in the sauce mixture. Cover the pot and transfer to a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F). Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours until the lamb is falling off the bone.

Rice Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Add the basmati rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is fluffy and all water is absorbed.

Hummus Preparation

  1. 6

    Blend the Hummus

    In a food processor, combine canned chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic clove, olive oil, salt, and water. Blend until smooth, adding more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
