Ingredients

2 tablespoon vegetable oil

6 french-trimmed lamb shanks (2kg)

1 large kumara (orange sweet potato) (500g), chopped coarsely

3 fresh kaffir lime leaves, shedded thinly

1 large brown onion (200g), chopped finely

2 tablespoon red curry paste

1 2/3 cup (400ml) canned coconut cream

2 cup (500ml) chicken stock

2 tablespoon fish sauce

375 gram snake beans, chopped coarsley

1 cup loosely packed fresh coriander leaves

2 tablespoon lime juice

Method

Heat half the oil in a large frying pan; cook lamb, in batches, until browned all over. Place lamb in a 4.5-litre (18-cup) slow cooker, add kumara and lime leaves.

Heat remaining oil in same pan; cook onion, stirring, until soft. Add paste; cook, stirring, until fragrant. Add coconut cream; bring to the boil. Remove pan from heat; stir in stock and sauce, pour over lamb. Cook, covered, on low, about 8 hours.

Add beans to cooker; cook, covered, on high, about 15 minutes. Stir in coriander and juice; season to taste.

Serve with steamed rice. Suitable to freeze at the end of step 2. Red curry paste is available in various strengths. Use whichever one suits your spice-level tolerance best. If you can’t find snake beans, use regular green beans instead.
