Easy lamb knuckle potjie with creamy Parmesan samp and beans

Serves 5

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 1 hour

Ingredients

4 T extra virgin olive oil
750 g Woolworths free-range lamb shanks and knuckles
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
250 g Woolworths peeled baby onions
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
700 g small Woolworths Nicola potatoes
4 fresh bay leaves
1 x 25 g Woolworths liquid chicken stock concentrate sachet, dissolved in 1 litre boiling water
1 x 400 g can Woolworths braai relish
Woolworths fresh chimichurri salad drizzle, for serving (optional)

For the creamy samp and beans:

2 x 410 g cans Woolworths samp and beans
1 cup cream
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
50 g freshly grated Parmesan, or to taste

Method

1 Heat the oil in a potjie over medium coals. Once hot, add the lamb and season.

2 Cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes or until a crust forms, then turn over and brown the other side in the same way. Add the vegetables, bay leaves, stock and braai relish.

3 Rinse the can, cleaning out any remaining relish, and add enough water to cover the ingredients. Cover with the lid and ensure the coals are evenly distributed beneath the pot, so you don’t create any hot spots. Simmer for 45 minutes, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone.

4 Meanwhile, prepare the samp and beans. Heat the beans in a saucepan over a medium heat with the cream, salt, pepper and Parmesan. Stir until the cheese has melted and keep warm or reheat before serving.

5 To serve, spoon the samp and beans in bowls and top with the lamb and chimichurri drizzle.
