Servings: persons

6 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
8 lamb shanks
2 onions
4 cloves of garlic
Sprinkling of salt
1 tablespoon turmeric
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 dried red chilli pepper, crumbled, or 1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Black pepper
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons Marsala wine
6 tablespoons red lentils
3 tablespoons chopped pistachios, chopped blanched almonds or a mixture of both

1
Put 3 tablespoons of the oil into a very large, wide, heavy-bottomed pan and warm over medium heat.
2
Brown the lamb shanks, in batches, in the pan and then remove to a roasting pan or whatever else youve got at hand to sit them in.
3
Peel the onions and garlic and process in a food processor or chop them finely by hand.
4
Add the remaining oil to the pan, and fry the onion-garlic mush until soft, sprinkling salt over to stop it sticking.
5
Stir in the turmeric, ground ginger, chilli, cinnamon and nutmeg, and season with some freshly ground pepper.
6
Stir again, adding the honey, soy sauce and Marsala.
7
Put the shanks back in the pan, add cold water almost to cover, bring to the boil then put a lid on the pan, lower the heat and simmer very gently for 11 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender.
8
Add the red lentils and cook for about 20 minutes longer without the lid, until the lentils have softened into the sauce and the juices have reduced and thickened slightly.
9
Check for seasoning.
10
Toast the nuts by heating them for a few minutes in a dry frying pan, and sprinkle onto the lamb as you serve it.
