Ingredients

Slow cooked lamb shanks

• 2 lamb shanks
• 1 tablespoon of lemongrass paste
• 2 tablespoon of Fussels Garlic Rapeseed Oil
• 1 tablespoon of white miso paste
• 1 tablespoon of fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon of tamarind paste
• 1 teaspoon of dried ginger powder
• Fussels Mint Mayonnaise

Pickled vegetables

• 2 large carrots, cut into matchsticks
• 100g radishes, cut into matchsticks
• 300ml rice vinegar
• 150ml water
• 45g sugar
• 1 tablespoon salt

Method

Makes 4 sandwiches

Slow cooked lamb shanks

Combine all the marinade ingredients and rub the lambs shanks.

Leave covered in the fridge overnight.

The next day, preheat the oven to 160C.

Place the shanks into a baking dish and cover with baking foil.

Bake these for 3 hours until the meat is falling off the bone and shredding easily.

Using 2 forks, tear the meat into strips and keep in the cooking liquid whilst you assemble the sandwiches.

Pickled vegetables

Place the vegetables into a jar.

Combine the vinegar, water, sugar and salt in a bowl and stir until dissolved and pour over the veggies.

Leave at room temperature overnight and they’re ready to use.

Store in the fridge after that.

To assemble the sandwich:

You will need Bánh mì or plain baguettes.

Extra sandwich fillers: mint mayonnaise, coriander leaves, red chilli and cucumber cut into matchsticks.

Cut your baguettes open and spread with a spoonful or two of the mint mayo and fill generously with the pulled lamb, pickled vegetables, cucumber, chilli and coriander leaves.

Enjoy!
