Many people wonder how to cook a lamb shank. For me personally the most delicious, tender and juicy meat can only be cooked using a sous vide method. To confirm this statement, I've published this recipe for a crusty and spicy lamb shank. You're free to choose the quantity and variety of greens to your liking. After all, cooking is more about creativity and less like an exact science.

Method
-
Blend the greens along with salt, pepper, and olive oil in a blender. In our case we blended rosemary, thyme and parsley. -
Make cuts in a leg of mutton and rub it with blended green paste. -
Immerse the meat in a water bath preheated to 56ºC (132.8°F) and set the timer for a range between 18 and 24 hours depending on thickness of the shank. -
When the timer goes off, put the mutton leg in an oven preheated to 230ºC for about 10 minutes. -
You can serve the meat with any side dish you like! For this occasion, it was decided to prepare couscous. We added finely chopped onions, pepper and parsley to it and didn't forget to sprinkle some olive oil on top.
