Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Lamb

In a large pot, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the lamb shanks and sear them on all sides until browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.

2. Make the Curry Base

In the same pot, add the sliced shallots and ginger. Sauté until the shallots are translucent. Stir in the Northern Thai red curry paste and cook for another 2 minutes.

3. Combine Ingredients

Return the seared lamb shanks to the pot. Pour in the coconut milk and add the cubed potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours or until the lamb is tender.

4. Add Peanuts and Scallions

In the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the peanuts and chopped scallions to the pot. Season with salt to taste.

5. Prepare Cucumber Salad

While the lamb is cooking, slice the cucumber and toss it with lime juice, salt, and a bit of chopped scallions if desired.

6. Serve

Once the lamb is tender, serve the dish hot with a side of cucumber salad.
