Not bbq... it's been heinous rainy weather here over the weekend.
I found some NZ lamb in the form of shanks here, its very rare NZ lamb makes its way to Mallorca, as a kiwi I couldn't resist, lamb shanks it was
The left pot was the kid's pot, just with normal garlic, rosemary and vege. The adult's pot on the right was spicey as all get go, I sealed and browned the shanks in cajun blackening spice, then a dozen whole jalapenos. ( I make 3 kg of cajun spice every few months, 2 cups each of cayenne pepper, ground white pepper, ground black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. 6 cups smoked sweet paprika, 1 cup dried thyme, 1 cup dried oregano, 1 cup Maldon sea salt)
The braising liquor is red wine and chicken stock,. braise in the oven for 3 hours at 160 Celcius..... the meat is drop off the bone tender, then plenty of mash spuds to sit it on.
The kids nailed their pot outright, and got adventurous and started delving into the adult's pot. The dogs could be heard all night crunching on the shank bones
