      I normally like a full bodied cab sav with lots of cherry flavours. Merlot is another. Try not to use a cheap wine to braise the shanks.

      God, I'm hungry now!

        If you go for the chorizo option, you can add haricot beans or chick peas.

        You might find lamb shanks are quite expensive (they used to be the cheapest part until tv chefs used them, you can use shoulder instead, just make sure to cut it up in large chunks). Start with a base of onions, then the chorizo, then the paprika, add the lamb and then add red wine (about 300ml and 2 tins of tomatoes), cook in a heavy based pan ( covered) for 3 hours at 120 in the oven.

        Add the chickpeas or the beans at the last half hour.

        You can serve this with couscous or lentils and a nice bottle of rioja.

          The problem with using 300ml of wine is that you have to finish the bottle - it looks a bit odd otherwise

          I quite like roasted veg in a Mediterranian stylee. Chuck chunks of onion, aubergine, courgette in to a roasting tin add some cloves of garlic and little toms, drizzle with oil, roast. Or buy the ready made stuff from Tesco

                  I've been laying out pcbs again.

                  It's ever so interesting.

                  Strangely, I rather enjoy it in a masochistic sort of way.

                    bored.

                    Now.

                    for one of my less regarded esteemed customers.

                    Oh pox.

                    The credit card won't take it.

                    The esteemed customer will have to order it on his own card & claim it back.



                    I'm ever so sad.
