- 250 gram Puff pastry
- 1 piece Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).
- Season the lamb shanks with salt and black pepper.
- In a large ovenproof pot, heat some oil over medium-high heat and brown the lamb shanks on all sides. Remove from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, melt the butter and add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Cook until softened.
- Add the tomato paste and cook for another minute.
- Deglaze the pot with red wine, scraping the bottom to release any browned bits.
- Add the beef stock, thyme, and bay leaves. Return the lamb shanks to the pot.
- Cover the pot and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 5 to 3 hours, or until the lamb is tender and falling off the bone.
- Remove the lamb shanks from the pot and shred the meat, discarding any bones and excess fat. Set aside.
- Strain the cooking liquid and discard the solids. Return the liquid to the pot and simmer until reduced and thickened.
- Add the shredded lamb back to the pot and stir to combine.
- Increase the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into a shape that fits your pie dish.
- Fill the pie dish with the lamb mixture and cover with the puff pastry.
- Beat the egg and brush it over the pastry.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
- Allow the pie to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Serve the lamb shank pie hot and enjoy!
