Lamb Shanks
Serving: 4
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 Lamb shanks
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons plain flour
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 500 ml red wine
- 1 cup beef stock
Instructions
- Heat oil in fry pan and cook shanks over high heat until browned
- Place in slow cooker
- Reduce fry pan heat to medium low.
- Add garlic and stir, being careful not to allow it to burn.
- Add flour and tomato paste and stir for 3 minutes.
- Add red wine and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Pour sauce on top of shanks and cook on LOW for 8-10 hours.
Note
- I thicken the sauce at the end by adding a little cornflour in about the last hour.
- Best serves with potato mash.
- I use my 3.5l slow cooker for this but it can be a bit small to fit the shanks in comfortably depending on how big they are so i think a 5.5l would be better.
- Also if you don't want the red wine to be as strong you can swap the beef stock and red wine amounts around for a subtler flavour.
