Granpa Festus secret lamb shank recipe without the meths

Grandpa Festus’s secret lamb shank recipe without the meths

make fire (lots of petrol and a match)
Pre heat pot
In a pan seal off 4 of the shanks at a time, browning not burning!
Place shanks into pot, add onions and hard veg! Discard oil from pan and place pan back on heat add red wine to pan to deglaze then add to the pot
Add water till almost covers food in pot
Add half the stock
Allow to cook that means simmer not boil and start heavy drinking
Check shanks after an hour and make sure its not boiling. Carry on drinking
Here is where it gets tricky, check shanks every fifteen minutes, while still drinking. If you need to add more water or stock go for it but don’t drown the food
Should take about 2-3 hours to cook depending on the cooking temp and how pissed you are by now
When the meat is almost falling off the bone its done! This is very important now you add the beans, peas and soft veg. Season to taste
Now in the pan, add oil and heat pan. Then toss off the pap balls till golden brown this don’t mean wank in the pan Murray!!!!
Place balls gentle in the pot, not yours Murray!!
Garnish with herbs
Braai bread place on grid over coals and turn regular do not allow to burn! Or it will taste kak. Golden brown not black as your hat!
If it is a disaster knock over the pot into the coals and say you were robbed of your glory! Or steal someone else’s
Pouring beer into the pot will not help it cook any quicker
Even if it sounds like fun don’t piss on your fire, piss on someone else’s
Do not light fire with recipe
