Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C.
  • Season lamb shanks with salt and pepper.
  • Brown shanks in hot oil within a casserole dish and set aside.
  • Sauté onions and garlic then stir in flour to make a paste.
  • Gradually add wine and stock while stirring to combine.
  • Add potatoes, carrots, celery, and herbs and bring to a simmer.
  • Stir in beans, return lamb to dish, cover, and bake for 2 hours.
  • Remove from oven once meat is tender and transfer to a pie dish.
  • Stand shanks upright and allow the mixture to cool completely.
  • Increase oven temperature to 180°C.
  • Brush the rim of the dish with beaten egg.
  • Roll pastry to 0.5cm thickness and drape over the shanks.
  • Slit pastry to allow bones to poke through and crimp edges to seal.
  • Glaze with remaining egg, sprinkle with salt, and bake for 45-60 minutes.
  • Boil peas for 3 minutes and serve with the hot pie.
