Lamb shank pie with pickled red cabbage recipe

The thinking behind this was to make Lancashire hotpot – which is served with pickled red cabbage – into a pie, but I think it has ended up being more like Irish stew in a pie! Lamb shanks aren’t cheap but they produce a fantastic filling as the meat is so sticky and intensely flavoured. Got the thumbs up in my house. Make the pickled cabbage a couple of days before. You can also cook the lamb shanks the day before.
