Ingredients
4 lamb shanks —you can get these from your butcher
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 onion, roughly chopped
2 carrots, roughly chopped
1 tbsp tomato paste
500ml passata
Handful rosemary, fresh is ideal but dried works well too
Handful thyme, fresh is ideal but dried works well too
250ml water
Pinch of salt and pepper
Method
Place the lamb shanks, garlic and vegetables in the slow cooker or alternatively, a large casserole dish.
Mix the tomato paste, passata, herbs and water in a jug and pour over the shanks.
Ensure the lamb shanks are fully covered by the mixture, if not add more water.
If using a slow cooker set it to a high setting and cook for six hours.
If using a casserole dish then preheat the oven to 140°C and cook for six hours.
Place the cooked shanks onto warmed serving plates and enjoy with sides of your choice.
