Cooking Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 180°c.
Place the lamb shanks in a oven-proof roasting dish.
In a bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, water, tomato paste, salt and pepper and pour over the lamb shanks.
Add the bay leaf, thyme and garlic and cover the dish with a lid or foil.
Place in the oven and allow to braise for 2-3 hours until the lamb shanks are cooked through and fall-off-the-bone tender.
To make the polenta, bring the water and salt to a boil in a large pot.
Slowly stir in the polenta until the mixture is lump free. Turn the heat down and allow the polenta to cook for 15-20 minutes stirring frequently until the polenta is thick and cooked through.
Remove from the heat and beat in the butter and the cheese.
Serve the polenta topped with the lamb shanks with some of the tomato sauce spooned over with the green beans.
