Tonight we had a delicious sit down family meal. We really should dobthis more often.
Mrs MJ got a recipe for lamb shanks from her Mum to try. She started cooking it yesterday afternoon, and then left it overnight in the fridge to marinade. This evening we took it out and slowly warmed it up to a simmer for another few hours. We bought some good mashing patatoes (yes, there are good ones and not so good ones for mashing, apparently) as well, and boiled them up and mashed them into a smooth and fluffy texture.
The final product was a mouthwatering, fall off the bone shank with peas and carrots in a red wine gravy, over the mashed patato.
It was perfect, and was well complimented by an aptly-named "The Fat Man" Pinotage, whuch I still need to write up a review of. Watch this space....
Eat well, drink well, love you family well, and have great weekend!!
