Tender meat cooked to perfection and served with Somali rice. You can cook this dish either with lamb shanks or goat shanks. Goat meat has a milder taste than lamb.

We used a pressure cooker to cook the meat quickly, but you can cook it slowly in a slow cooker or in a regular pot until the meat becomes fork tender and starts to fall off the bones. The resulting sauce is incredibly flavourful.

We didn’t add any other vegetables because the Somali rice is usually served with a topping of vegetables.

Ingredients

1 cup = 237 mL · 1 Tbsp = 15 mL · 1 tsp = 5 mL. All are level measurements.

Method

Tap a step to mark it done.

  1. Wash the lamb shanks.

  2. Brown the onions, garlic, and spices with the oil. Then add the lamb shanks.

  3. Add the vinegar and water.

  4. Cook on medium heat for half an hour. If not using a pressure cooker, cook for about 2 hours until fork tender. Add the cilantro before turning off the heat.

  5. Serve with Somali rice and, most important of all, do not forget the banana!

    Assalamualaikum

    Hai i love and tried your recipe.. But maybe you need to mention why you choose to use vegeta seasoning mix instead of maggie cubes in the recipe..

    Because i tried your recipe with maggie cubes, and it gave me a bad aftertaste 🙁 it tasted wonderful, just the aftertaste.. I think its because the maggie has msg in it 🙁

    i want to try this recipes but i have a couple of question, what is vegetable seasoning? And why in ingredient i found white vinegar but in direction you didn’t mention it at all.. ty

    1. A&LXawaash

      Vegetable seasoning refers to a seasoning salt mix. We used Vegeta Seasoning Mix (google it for the picture of the package and description). You can use vegetable stock instead or bouillon cubes (such as Knorr or Maggi). The vinegar is added after the shanks are placed in the pot. We updated the directions and added the servings.
