  1. Slow-Baked Italian Lamb Shanks
    Tender, fall-off-the-bone lamb shanks layered with bold BlixSam Pasta a la Sam, slowly baked in a rich Italian herb gravy. This is true comfort food, made the BlixSam way.
    Serves: 4
    🛒 Ingredients
    4 lamb shanks
    2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
    2 tbsp BlixSam Pasta a la Sam
    250 ml BlixSam Italian Salad Dressing
    300 ml beef or lamb stock
    1 large onion, sliced
    🔥 Method – Layered the BlixSam Way
    1️⃣ Bloom the flavour foundation
    Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
    Add the BlixSam Pasta a la Sam directly into the oil and allow it to bloom for 30 seconds until fragrant.
    This is Sam's signature move—it unlocks deep, rich flavour.
    2️⃣ Brown the lamb shanks
    Add the lamb shanks to the seasoned oil.
    Brown them well on all sides until beautifully golden.
    Remove and set aside.
    3️⃣ Build the rich Italian gravy
    Using the same pan, add the sliced onion and cook until soft and lightly caramelised.
    Pour in the BlixSam Italian Salad Dressing and stir well.
    Add the beef or lamb stock and allow the gravy to simmer for 5–8 minutes, letting the flavours combine.
    4️⃣ Slow bake until tender
    Place the browned lamb shanks into a large ovenproof dish.
    Pour the Italian gravy over the shanks.
    Cover tightly with foil and bake at 160°C for 2½ hours.
    Low and slow creates incredibly tender, fall-apart lamb.
    5️⃣ Finish for a glossy gravy
    Remove the foil.
    Bake uncovered for a further 15–20 minutes until the gravy has reduced slightly and developed a rich, glossy finish.
    🍽️ Serving Suggestion
    Serve with creamy mashed potatoes, buttery rice or roasted vegetables and generously spoon the rich BlixSam Italian Gravy over everything.
