Ingredients

Shredded lamb burger

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

500 gram lamb shanks

400 gram diced tomatoes

1 cup beef stock

1 onion, sliced

1 clove garlic, thinly sliced

2 red capsicums, seeded, thickly sliced

1/4 cup whole-egg mayonnaise

1 tablespoon tahini

1 tablespoon lemon juice

6 turkish-style rolls, halved, toasted

2 cup rocket leaves

Rosemary wedges

2 large potatoes, peeled, sliced into wedges

2 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon rosemary sprigs

2 teaspoon salt flakes

Method

1.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C.

2.In a large, flame-proof casserole dish, heat oil on high. Cook shanks for 3-5 minutes, turning, until golden. Add tomatoes, stock, onion and garlic. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Cover with foil and bake for 1½ hours.

3.Remove foil. Bake uncovered for 1 hour until lamb is falling off the bone.

4.On a large oven tray, toss potatoes, oil, rosemary and salt. Add to oven with the lamb for the final 40 minutes of cooking time.

5.Heat a char-grill pan on high. Cook capsicum for 3-4 minutes each side, then set aside.

6.Remove shanks from sauce and cool for 5 minutes. Shred meat, discarding bones. Return meat to sauce and toss until well coated.

7.In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, tahini and lemon juice.

8.Top each roll base with tahini mayonnaise, rocket, capsicum and lamb. Finish with roll tops and serve with potato wedges.
