Add a photoLamb is one of my favorite meats although I must admit I seldom cook it at home. I usually just enjoy it when I eat out at restaurants. Among my favorites: Mongolian lamb and Lamb Masala. For some reason, the thought of cooking lamb at home is very intriguing, as if it is a feat that only professional chefs can be successful at. Well, I have just made a conscious decision to cook more lamb at home, starting with this recipe of adobo-style lamb shanks. Lamb meat is not as readily available in the Philippines. Otherwise, lamb adobo would be a favorite everyday meal in restaurants and households.
Ingredients
- 2 pcs. lamb shanks (about 1 1/2 lbs)
- 6 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
- 1 cup sliced button mushrooms
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1/3 cup Michiu rice cooking wine
- 3 tbsps brown sugar
- Ground pepper to taste,
- 1 cup sweet potato, crinkle cut
- 1 cup baby bok choy, thinly sliced
- 2 cups water
Directions
- Place lamb shanks in a large pan or wok.
- Add garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, pepper, sugar, rice wine and 1 cup water.
- Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and cover.
- Cook for about an hour. (If necessary, add more water to prevent the mixture from drying up).
- Add mushrooms and cook for another two minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a small pan, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Add sweet potatato and cook for about three minutes. Reduce heat to low and cook for two more minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon or spatula, remove sweet potato and place on a bowl to set aside.
- Using the same pan and remaining liquid, add bok choy and cook on low heat for just one minute.
- Remove from heat, drain and set aside.
- Place lamb shanks on a serving place, topping them with the mushrooms and sauce. Serve with sweet potatoes and bok choy on the side.
