Directions
- Tie each shank securely with the string and season well. Bring the stock contents to the boil in a deep saucepan and drop in the shanks.
- Immediately reduce heat to simmer and cover with a lid, cook on a low heat for 2 hrs.
- After 2 hrs check shanks (the meat will be loose by the bone if cooked) and remove sufficient of the stock to cover the pearl barley.
- Bring the barley to the boil till just tender and season to taste.
- Remove more stock, approximately 300ml and boil (reduce) with the port till it thickens a little and reduces to approximately half the original level.
- Meanwhile, keep the shanks in the remaining stock warming, but not on the heat.
- Check sauce and pearl barley is alright, remove shanks and remove string. Put barley on a plate with a little mashed potato (garlic mash) to hold it. Put barley into a sauce and pour over the lamb, finish with minced coriander sprinkled over.
- Onions: Bring the vinegar, red wine and sugar to the boil, drop in the onions and cook for 30 min till the onions have completely absorbed the liquid - taste and serve.
