Best ever Lamb Shanks
Serving: 6
Ingredients
- 6 meaty Lamb Shanks
- 600 - 800g button mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 4 red onions sliced, sliced
- 6 – 8 garlic cloves – crushed
- 4 – 400g tins of tomatoes, chopped
- 2/3 cup of tomato paste
- 2/3 cup sundried tomatoes , chopped
- 1 cup of Masala/Sweet Sherry (any sweet fortified wine will do)
- 3 - 4 Massell beef stock cubes
- 2 cups of red wine
- 4 sprigs rosemary, finely chopped
Instructions
- 1. Sear lamb shanks in a couple of tablespoons of oil ensure they are well browned Remove from pan and set aside (my Breville SC has a searing pan which makes this nice and easy)
- 2. Add and cook onions till soft then add the mushrooms, garlic and cook a further 2-3 minutes
- 3. Add the remaining ingredients, stir and cook a further couple of minutes
- 4. Place shanks and cooked liquid to your slow cooker. Cover with the lid and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 5-6 hours
- **note: After a few hours, I continue to spoon off any excess fat that rises to the top.
- this is just so yummy served on a pile of tasty mash of potato and kumara (NZ sweet potato) to mop up all the tasty goodness.

HI,
I’m looking at cooking this on Monday and was wondering if that is 4x 400gms tins of tomato ? or just 1?
It’s 4 tins
Hi there,
Could you please specify: 1 cup of Masala/Sweet Sherry – is it 1 cup of Masala spices mixed with sweet sherry?
Thank you!
What size cooker will hold 6 lamb shanks? Why not give the recipe for 2 or 3 lamb shanks?
Why not halve the recipe to suit yourself?
Or why not choose another of the many shank recipes that use only 2-3 for example.
And FYI I have several that would fit 6 in
I’m sorry if your small size bothers you Tony 😉
an Aussie alternative to Masala is Boronia all ‘uovo – under $10.00 at Dan Murphys – was not referring to Masala spice mix
