  1. Cooked this with 5 lamb shanks and there was more than enough gravy for them. Nice flavour. But took quite a bit to thicken. Could have been due to having cooking more shanks. Elderly neighbour loved it. Would make this again for sure.

  2. Really lovely. Changed some of the measurements as I had 4 lamb shanks and needed less liquid so I didn’t overflow my cooker. We also used a redwine sauce mix (masterfoods).
    The meat fell right off the bone and it was delightful to eat. Served with mash potato aswell.

  3. Didn’t realise I needed to prepare things on a fry pan prior to slow cooking, but that’s ok!
    I was a bit worried it was going to be over powered by the tomato, but it was a nice balance and suited hubby and I and our preferences 🙂 will make it again!

    My husband loves lamb shanks and I have cooked them a million times over the years using all sorts of recipes and he said these are the best yet so thank you so very much. ???
