Preparation

Step 1

Combine the lamb stock and Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade, then vacuum-seal the lamb shanks. Cook in a combi oven at 90 °C for about 4.5 hours.

Step 2

Meanwhile, for the pimento sauerkraut, melt the butter in a saucepan and sweat the shallots for 1–2 minutes. Dust with the paprika powder and briefly continue sweating. Add the sauerkraut, deglaze with the wine and top up with the stock. Simmer gently for about 45 minutes until the liquid has fully reduced. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Cook the gnocchi in boiling salted water according to the packet instructions. Transfer to a large frying pan with the butter and glaze with a little of the cooking water. Before serving, fold in the parmesan, pine nuts and parsley, then season with a little nutmeg.

Step 4

For the pesto, purée the parsley, lemon zest and pistachios with the olive oil using a stick blender, then season with salt.

Step 5

Unbag the lamb shanks, collect the cooking liquid and reduce it slightly. Mix the cornflour with a little water and stir in to thicken. Drizzle the shanks with the vegetable oil and reheat in the oven at 180 °C for about 20 minutes.

Step 6

To serve, arrange the sauerkraut on plates and place the lamb shank in the centre. Spoon the parmesan gnocchi around it and drizzle with the pesto and sauce.

Tip

Individually vacuum-sealed shanks are perfect for à la carte service, extending their shelf life and simplifying mise en place.
