WHAT'S FOR DINNER: Spiced Lamb Shanks, Beef Korma, Special Occasions, and More

This week on What’s For Dinner? we feature spiced lamb shanks, give you two ways to cook up beef korma, and share our favourite special occasion recipes.

Spice up your dinner

Lamb shanks, often slow roasted and served in a thick gravy, are given a different twist in this recipe. Here they are cooked slowly in a mix of vibrant Indian spices with a dash of fresh chilli for an extra kick.

Cooking tips: This recipe uses the oven however you can also cook these lamb shanks in the slow cooker on low for 8-9 hours. Just be sure to remove any excess fat from the sauce before serving.

Two Ways To Enjoy Beef Korma

Our slowly cooked beef korma curry is so good, we made it into a pie. Enjoy a fragrant mix of herbs, spices and tender melt-in-your-mouth beef, all in a creamy coconut sauce. The homemade korma paste is well worth the effort; we recommend making a double batch and freezing for later. Serve the curry with steamed white rice and flatbreads or naan. Don’t forget to garnish with plenty of fresh coriander.
