Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 4-8 hours
Serves: 4

Ingredients

3 Tbsp	Olivado Extra Virgin Olive Oil
4	Pure South Lamb Hind Shanks
1	Pure South Lamb Hind Shanks
3	garlic cloves, crushed
1 cup	Nespresso Coffee
2 cups	beef stock
1 tbsp	Chantal Organics Tomato Paste
¾ cup	Chantal Organics Chopped Tomatoes
1 tbsp	red wine vinegar
2 tsp	chilli powder, optional
1	cinnamon quill
1	orange, juice and grated zest
20g	dark chocolate, shaved
to taste	Sea salt and black pepper

Crusty white bread, to serve (optional)

Directions

1. Add Olivado oil to a large deep frying pan over high heat. Sear the Pure South lamb shanks until browned, in batches, then set aside. Turn the heat down to medium, add extra oil if needed, then add onion to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often.
2. Place the lamb shanks in a slow cooker with bone sticking upward. Add the rest of the ingredients, so the lamb meat is covered. Cook on high for 4 hours, or low for 8, until the meat easily pulls off the bone.
3. Remove cinnamon quill then season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with crusty white bread or your favourite sides.
