Enjoy JAZZ by the fire at Saint Lucy!

Hello!

Welcome to July, where winter is well and truly upon us and we have guiltily indulged in all things hearty and warming, including our latest a la carte menu offerings (oh and someone had to taste test the new Lumumba cocktail!)

In this issue of Hillstone HARVEST we take a look at Jens’ wine pick for July - the perfect accompaniment to our delicious winter lamb shanks recipe.

We also take a peek at the entertainment line-up at Saint Lucy and give you the first glimpse of our Father’s Day, Melbourne Cup and Christmas event menus!

We hope you enjoy this latest issue of Hillstone HARVEST and we hope to see you soon at one of our upcoming events!

WINTER LAMB SHANKS serves 6-8 *2kg beef cheek can also be used!

INGREDIENTS 6 lamb shanks* 6 garlic cloves 100g capers 400g passata 1 cup red wine 2 tblsp balsamic vinegar

1 red onion 100g pitted green olives 5 sprigs thyme 500ml beef stock Seasoning 2 tblsp dijon mustard

METHOD 1. Lightly flour your shanks in seasoned plain flour. Shake off excess flour and set aside in a deep baking dish or slow cooker.

2. Roughly dice the onion, halve the olives and crush the garlic cloves and add to a bowl. Add the drained capers (leaving them whole) and picked thyme leaves.

3. Add the red wine, passata, stock, vinegar and dijon mustard and stir until combined, before pouring over your vegetables and mixing together.

4. Add a little seasoning and then pour everything into the baking dish or slow cooker. Ensure the mixture covers at least 3/4 of the shanks. (If you don’t have enough liquid to cover them add a little more stock or a little water).

5. Cover and place in a pre-heated oven at 140C for 3 1/2 hours (or in a slow cooker for approximately 6 hours on ‘low’).

6. When cooked, remove from oven and place on a bench, removing the shanks. Place the liquid from your baking dish into a saucepan and reduce for 5 minutes. Use this as your sauce or ragout for your meat.

7. Serve with buttery mash or polenta.

This recipe can be made the day before. To reheat, simply place the shanks back into the sauce and heat in the oven until hot (1/2 hour at approximately 160C covered).
