Ingredients
1 tbsp Extra Virgin olive oil
2 lamb shanks
2 shallots sliced
1 tsp plain flour
125ml red wine
300ml lamb or beef stock
1 tbsp Rich Redcurrant Jelly
2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar di Modena (Mazetti Barrel aged or the one we bottle)

Method
1) Preheat the oven to 160°C fan. Heat the olive oil in a flameproof casserole dish. Season the lamb shanks with salt and pepper and add to the dish. Cook over a high heat for 6-7 minutes, until browned all over.
2) Reduce the heat slightly, add the shallots to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the flour. Pour in the wine, stock, redcurrant jelly and balsamic vinegar, then add the thyme sprigs. Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to the oven. Cook for 2 hours 15 minutes.
