Alex Mwaura, the Executive Chef at Southern Sun Hotel, Ikoyi, Lagos recently shared one of his recipes for the hotel. The special delicacy, the Braised Lamb Shanks in Herbs Jus
is a popular delicacy familiar to many who are used to dining at the hotel’s restaurant for in-house dining or the popular Sunday Brunch at the on Sundays.
Speaking on the meal, he said Shanks are cut out of lamb hide leg in the middle just below the bulk meat and they are popular for their diligent succulent lamb taste and were traditionally done in clay pot for hours slowly which made them become a story telling dish during celebration times as people wait for it to cook.
He said: “Shanks are mostly served as a dinner meal with red wine especially crispy ones which can also be added to the meal while cooking to enhance flavor
“Lamb is a rich source of protein and vitamin B12 which helps in formation of blood. It’s also a very good source of iron but always trim any fat around as it’s also high in cholesterol.”
Chef Alex over Mwaura , a graduate of the famous Kenyan, Utali College, has over 27 years of culinary experience and as Executive Chef for 15years now in over five countries.
