Why this recipe works

The Adventure-Q is perfect for slow cooking, allowing tough cuts like lamb shanks to become beautifully tender over a gentle simmer. Browning the meat and vegetables first builds rich flavour, while the combination of red wine, stock and tomatoes creates a hearty sauce that develops throughout the day. It’s an ideal set-and-forget meal that’s perfect for camping, entertaining or feeding a crowd.

Wilson’s notes

This is one of our go-to recipes at Daymo trade shows. We can leave it cooking throughout the day while demonstrating the Adventure-Q, then sit down to an incredible dinner once the event wraps up. The longer it simmers, the better it gets.

Time

Preparation: 10 minutes
Cook time: 3 hour

Ingredients

• 2 lamb shanks
• 1 brown onion, finely diced
• 4 sticks celery, finely chopped
• 2 carrots, finely diced
• 3 to 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 500ml chicken stock
• 1 x 400g can crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup red wine
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Taste test notes

The lamb becomes fall-apart tender after hours of gentle cooking, while the vegetables melt into a rich, full-bodied sauce. Serve with creamy mashed potato, rice or crusty bread to soak up every last drop.

Method

1. Finely chop the celery, onion, carrot and garlic.
2. Preheat the Daymo Adventure-Q over medium-high heat.
3. Brown the lamb shanks on all sides, then remove from the pan and set aside.
4. Add the onion, celery, carrot and garlic to the pan and cook until softened and lightly browned.
5. Pour in the red wine and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated.
6. Add the chicken stock, crushed tomatoes, salt and pepper, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
7. Return the lamb shanks to the pan, ensuring they are partially submerged in the sauce.
8. Reduce the heat to as low as possible while maintaining a gentle simmer.
9. Cover and cook for approximately 3 hours, or until the lamb is tender and falling off the bone.

Enjoy!
