You’re always one step ahead of me. Meat free leftovers from an uneventful Fennel and Orange Lamb Shank Tagine are on the menu tonight. I thought I try a take on a Shakshuka. Not hopeful.

Well you got me at Lamb Shanks! Your recipe sounds amazing and of course I have saved to my Good Food file, albeit I really think I need to set up a Jill Dupleix folder so they don’t get lost.

Apologies for not listing the garlic in the method - it's there now. Add it with the stock and tomato paste, etc. That way, it won't have a chance to burn in the pan, and will disperse well through the sauce.

Hi Jill…this looks right up my street. Thank you. I often use a pressure cooker for speed…do you ever use one? If so any tips eg liquid quantity?

Thanks Jill. Or we ask the community here? When cooking in a pressure cooker you need miles more liquid than for cooking in the oven or hob - otherwise the bottom burns. Anyone here know what approx liquid needed for a dish like this? Jeannette x
