Braised Lamb Shanks with Yorkshire-Style Puddings / 3 Salads / Spetsofai (Stewed Sausages & Peppers)



Blog Post & Recipe: Braised lamb shanks with Yorkshire-style puddings [via] (and, see, another blogger is also making braised lamb shanks, and the NZ Herald has a recipe for lamb shanks and macaroni)


Instead of making the usual thick, sticky sauce, which can be a little heavy, I opted for a light, almost soupy, tangy tomato and stock sauce.

The roasted beetroot salad can be made more substantial by adding crumbled feta or goat’s cheese. All of these recipes make a great accompaniment to a Sunday roast.

Blog Post & Recipe: Spetsofai


In it’s complete simplicity, spetsofai is sausages and peppers. It traditionally hails from the Thessaly region of Greece and whilst it lends itself as a winter dish the produce it uses is more synonymous with summer. The traditional recipe is a little more spicy and uses loukaniko (the Greek word for sausage). I was making this for a friend of mine and her eight year old so anything considered spicy was off limits. I added a little oomph to the spetsofai by using some smoked paprika and a little red wine.
