Walker570 Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Nice one Simon. Shanks are delicious when cooked right and that sounds just the ticket. We are having pheasant breasts sliced thin (1/4 inch) and then fast fried in garlic and butter in the skillet with possibly a shake of Tony Chatery's Cajun Mix which I have shipped in personally from the States. Goes with anything ven those shanks. Have no idea what is planned for vegs but a glass of Hob Goblin may be consumed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panoma1 Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 It does look appetising Ditchy.....I recon a similar dish made out of deer would be nice too! Lol! 🦌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Don't see them so much these days. One of my absolute favourites and fantastic if cooked slow like you did. Some of the most unpopular cuts (beef cheeks/ pork belli/lamb breast) are mouth watering if cooked slow and in red wine (cider for the pork). People are missing out.

Lol! 🦌 Not a silly suggestion. I always bone out and stuff a deer haunch and leave as much of the shank on as possible and is usually the first end to be carved and never had complaints. 20yrs ago lamb shank was always on the menu of hotels and eating houses. Don't see it so much these days. Edited February 24, 2019 by Walker570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clodhopper Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Looks scrumptious Ditchy. You are a man of many talents. Got some going to the abattoir tomorrow, think I may try a similar dish later on in the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
