8 small lamb shanks
plain flour, seasoned with salt and pepper (all purpose)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, cut into thin wedges
3 garlic cloves
1 long red chile, seeded and finely chopped
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
400 g chopped tomatoes
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth

1
Dust the shanks in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Heat half the oil in a heavy based pan over high heat and brown the lamb on all sides-this might need to be done in a couple of batches. Remove and set aside.
2
Add the remaining oil to the pan and cook the onion for a 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic, chilli, ginger and five spice and cook stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3
Add the remaining ingredients, stir well and bring to the boil.
4
Return the lamb to the pan, reduce the ehat to low and simmer covered for 1 1/2 hours or the meat is almost falling off the bone and very tender.
5
Check the seasonings and skim off any excess oil.
6
Serve over mash (wasabi mash is good) or rice, with steamed green veg and lime wedges.
