SLOW COOKER LAMB SHANKS

GF, DF, RSF

If you’re wanting a comforting, iron-rich winter meal, let the slow cooker do the heavy lifting with this one. Use lamb chops if shanks are unavailable. You'll also find this recipe in my Volume 4 - Healthy Options cookbook.

Ingredients:

4 lamb shanks

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, crushed

2 carrots, finely sliced

2 stalks of celery, finely sliced

1 x 400g tin diced tomatoes

1 cup beef stock

2 tsp fresh or dried rosemary

2 tbsp tomato paste

salt and pepper to taste

Method:

• Place all the ingredients into the slow cooker.

• Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours until the meat and vegetables are tender.

• If you would like to thicken the sauce, then make a slurry by mixing a tablespoon of cornflour in a little water and stir through 20 minutes before serving.

• Season with salt and plenty of pepper. Serve hot with steamed greens.
