1

Peel and top and tail the carrot, then chop it into thick slices.

2

Chop off the top of the onion, peel the skin, and chop it roughly without going all the way to the root.

3

Top and tail the garlic cloves, peel them, and mince them finely using a knife technique.

4

Remove the leaves from the rosemary sprigs and chop them finely.

5

Chop the flat leaf parsley finely, removing the stems.

6

Heat a deep pan with olive oil until it's almost smoking.

7

Sear each side of the lamb shanks in the hot oil until caramelized, then remove them to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.

8

Add the chopped carrot and onion to the pan, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom.

9

Once the vegetables soften, add the minced garlic and reduce the heat to medium to avoid burning the garlic.

10

Return the lamb shanks to the pan, season them, and sprinkle plain flour over the top, stirring to combine.

11

Pour in a large glass of beef stock, red wine, passata, and tomato puree, along with a beef stock pot and the chopped herbs.

12

Stir everything together, ensuring the lamb shanks are coated and submerged in the sauce.
