Slow Cooked Lamb Shanks Recipe

Meals cooked in the crockpot have got to be an all time favourite, wouldn’t you agree?

They save loads of time and if I know my day is busy and I won’t be home until late, I throw a meal in my crockpot, leave it on all day and come home to the house smelling great and dinner cooked.

I’ve shared a couple of delicious crockpot recipes on the blog here, crockpot chicken laksa, and antipasto crockpot chicken. Today I’ve got a slow cooked lamb shanks recipe that I made recently. Lamb shanks aren’t something that I commonly cook but they were super delicious. Served with a huge bunch of kale (also cooked in the crockpot) and a few other veggies. It was very satisfying so I hope you enjoy it.

This recipe leaves quite alot of sauce, which I set aside and used the next day with some meat patties and veggies.
