These elegant braised lamb shanks look fancy but are easy to make. Marinated in red wine and braised in Coke and beef stock, the flavor in these lamb shanks will have you begging for more.

South Africans love lamb—so much so that they’re a staple at any braai (barbecue) that’s thrown in the country. It’s much more popular than pork (although chicken is still #1) and is always welcomed at any table.

Although usually grilled, lamb meat can be made in many, many ways. Our good friend Colin Dreyer, a photographer from Photonique.co.za has offered to present us with his take on a classic: red wine-braised lamb shanks. He’s added the surprising taste of Coca-Cola, which gives the lamb shanks a nice,  richer flavor.

These lamb shanks are delicious with the added Coca-Cola to give it a richer, fuller flavor

First, he lets the lamb shanks marinate in the red wine for an hour, then fries them in a casserole on the stove. After that, he fries up the onions in butter until soft, adds the meat spice (any meat spice you prefer) and lamb shanks, then adds in the Coke, beef stock and remaining vegetables (except for the mushrooms).

In less than one and a half hours, you can have your lamb shanks ready to eat. Serve with mashed potatoes for a filling meal.

It all goes into the oven for about 30 minutes, and then the mushrooms are added. The lamb shanks continue braising for another 45 minutes and then they’re ready to devour.

Hmm, delicious!
